Oscillating water column

, 2014
The times we live in today are complex where energy is concerned; the primary way in which global power is produced has had a direct effect on the natural climate of the earth. The fuel consumed by centralised power plants is primarily a non-renewable non sustainable resource removed from the earth and consumed within low efficient processes.

Overview on Oscillating Water Column Devices

Materials Research Proceedings, 2022
Abstract. Oscillating-water-column (OWC) converters, of fixed structure or floating, are an important class of wave energy devices. A large part of wave energy converter prototypes deployed so far into the sea are of OWC type. The paper presents a review of recent advances in OWC technology, including sea-tested prototypes and plants, new concepts, air

Air–water two-phase flow modelling of hydrodynamic performance of an oscillating water column device

Renewable Energy, 2012
A numerical method based on a two-phase level set with the global mass correction and immersed boundary method is developed here to simulate wave interaction with a semi-submerged chamber.

Oscillating water column control and monitoring

OCEANS 2016 MTS/IEEE Monterey, 2016
This article covers research into cost reduction pathways for wave energy. The primary focus is the development and test of reliable and controllable power take-off (PTO) technology for oscillating water column converters (OWC). This is highly relevant to the ocean energy challenge.

The Hydrodynamic Efficiency of an Oscillating Water Column

24th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering: Volume 2, 2005
An oscillating water column device enables the conversion of wave energy into electrical energy via wave interaction with a semi-submerged chamber coupled with a turbine for power take off. This present work concentrates on the wave interaction with the semi-submerged chamber, whereby a shore based oscillating water column (OWC) is studied ...

Phase Control for the Oscillating Water Column

1986
In this paper we investigate the use of optimal control techniques for improving the efficiency of the power-conversion system in an oscillating water column device. A mathematical model of the system is developed and an optimal control strategy for power-generation is determined.

Oscillating water column power conversion: A technology review

2014 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), 2014
Ocean waves are a huge, largely unexploited energy resource, and the potential for extracting energy from waves is great. Research in this area is driven by the need to meet renewable energy targets, but it is relatively immature compared to other renewable energy technologies.
