Abstract |
|
The main aim of the study is to generate electrical energy using wave energy near seashore. This study work deals with the design of oscillating water column. The model of oscillating water column is prepared to conduct a simple experiment to show its working method. This model is designed to consist of three portions that are a vertical duct, air chamber and air duct. The wind turbine rotates by the action of air pressure generated by the ocean wave entering and leaving the OCW. The wells turbine rotates in the same direction irrespective of the wind direction i.e., whether the wind is entering from the ocean’s side or from the air duct side. The wells turbine blade design and performance analysis were also studied. The maximum power output in the model OCW varies from 1- 1.5 W. It depends on the wave speed and wind velocity. |
