The “OE Buoy” is a Wave Energy Converter – it absorbs energy from ocean waves to generate green, sustainable electricity; Using the motions of the floating hull induced by passing waves, it transforms wave power into air power – like an air pump; This pressurised air rotates a turbine to generate electricity

CorPower Ocean’s wave energy converters harness clean energy from the world’s largest untapped energy source – our oceans. The wave motion is turned into rotation, which is converted into electricity by generators inside the buoy.

2025年1月1日 · A novel optimization framework is introduced for a single-buoy wave energy converter (WEC), which integrates model predictive control (MPC) with the boundary element method (BEM). A time-series auto-regressive (AR) model is employed to predict the wave excitation force in the near future for the MPC algorithm, and its accuracy is evaluated.

2022年3月22日 · In this article, a new built-in wave energy converter with high reliability and low maintenance costs is proposed and investigated for marine data buoys. Its core is a direct-drive energy conversion unit based on a magnetic lead screw design.

2024年12月1日 · The backward-bent duct buoy (BBDB) wave energy converter (WEC) is a floating oscillating water column (OWC) device with high conversion efficiency and low mooring requirements. This study experimentally investigates the effects of air chamber volume, chamber top shape, and center of gravity height on the wave energy capture performance of BBDB WEC.

2024年4月1日 · Oceanographers are hoping that a new wave energy converter will prevent brownouts and data loss at remote sensing buoys.

The “OE Buoy” is a Wave Energy Converter – it absorbs energy from ocean waves to generate green, sustainable electricity. Using the motions of the floating hull induced by passing waves, it transforms wave power into air power – like an air pump.

2023年1月15日 · MPC combined with deterministic sea wave prediction method is proposed to optimize the energy capture efficiency of oscillating buoy WEC under irregular wave. The penalty terms are added into the original maximized energy objective, and a new convex optimization problem is obtained.

2025年1月6日 · EMEC hosted the earliest wave project to transmit energy to a grid: the Pelamis Wave Energy Converter, trialed from 2004 to 2007. The device looked like the sea snake it is named after, with long, floating metal tubes that flexed against each other to drive hydraulics. ... has significant funding to back its bobbing wave-energy buoys, which it ...

Sandia National Laboratories identified innovative wave energy converter concepts that could power sensors on an ocean observing buoy.
