Design and Fabrication of Linear Generator Systems for Wave Energy
Wave energy is a comparably steady and powerful source of renewable energy. Various forecasts predict that wave energy is able to make a contribution of about 10% of the world wide electricity consumption. Preliminary surveys show that marine power has a potential to supply a significant part of the future energy needs. Hence all the researches done in the field of the wave energy conversion should be of real interest and should support the increase of the share of renewable energy in the electricity production. Based on a study on the wave power potential of the Arabian Sea near the Gaddani coast it was considered that it should be efficient to install wave power plants consisting of large arrays of small direct driven wave energy converters, having specifically designed linear generators. The test at different wave heights and distances from coast inferred that the currently designed prototype can generate power ranging from 20 W to 50 W for wave height of 0.8m - 1.8m. After the successful completion of project it is recommended that linear generators are feasible to overcome energy crisis of coastal areas as the installation and maintenance costs are affordable
