Abstract: (9517 Views) |
| A wave energy convertor, Pelamis, was conceptually designed based on the forces applied to the
instrument according to the Airy wave theory. Turnings of the bending arms were transformed into
horizontal movements of pistons in the hydraulic cylinders which resulted in the generation of alternating
current (AC) electricity without variation in AC frequency, using hydraulic circuits. In this study, the
optimal design of Pelamis for applications in Chabahar area was selected among several assumed
alternatives which could provide 16 KW of electricity. |
