An Oscillating Water Column (OWC): The Wave Energy Converter

Journal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C, 2021
Ocean waves are a valuable resource of renewable energy that can make a significant contribution to the supply of electricity to countries situated offshore when used in great measure. An extensive range of innovations was proposed, investigated, and assessed in some cases under actual ocean conditions. OWC devices are an important class of wave energy

The Development of Laboratory-Scale Oscillating Water Column OWC Test Rig with Real-Time Data Monitoring System

2021 International Conference on Smart-Green Technology in Electrical and Information Systems (ICSGTEIS), 2021
Oscillating water column (OWC) with vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) involves extracting ocean waves into electrical energy. To know the performance of OWC with VAWT in depth requires a complex monitoring system. This article focuses on two discussions.

An axial turbine in an innovative oscillating water column (OWC) device for sea-wave energy conversion

Ocean Engineering, 2018
Abstract Wells turbines, self-rectifying air-driven axial turbines, are typically used to convert pneumatic power available in the periodic reversed airflow in Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device into mechanical energy. However, such turbines suffer from low aerodynamic efficiency; low powers produced, and narrow operating range.

An integrated tool for modelling oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters (WEC) in vertical breakwaters

Journal of Hydro-environment Research, 2018
Abstract This paper describes the preliminary developments of an innovative integrated tool for the numerical modelling of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters (WEC) integrated in vertical breakwaters. The main purpose of the tool is the numerical modelling of wave propagation from offshore to nearshore, wave-structure interaction ...

Performance improvement of synchronous permanent magnet generator for oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter

2016 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon), 2016
This paper presents the performance analysis and improvement of electric power generation for Oscillating Water Colum (OWC) wave energy converter using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The existing power take-off system in OWC is based on induction machines which not only suffer from poor efficiency but require significant maintenance also.

Broadband wave conversion by a “Pan Flute”-type multi-oscillating-water-column (M−OWC) breakwater system

Energy Conversion and Management
Majority of wave energy converters (WEC) have a relatively narrower capture due to their design philosophy, which focus on matching WEC’s natural frequency to a single peak frequency of a seastate spectrum. This paper introduces an innovative “Pan Flute”-type WEC embedded into a breakwater.

The development of a Lagrangian dynamics model of an oscillating water column (OWC), wave energy converter (WEC)

2014 Oceans - St. John's, 2014
An oscillating water-air column (OWC) is one of the most technically viable options for converting wave energy into useful electric power. The OWC system uses the wave energy to “push or pull” air through an air turbine, as illustrated simply in Fig. 1.
