Development of a prototype for wave energy recovery
| Resumo: | Currently, estimates indicate that electricity consumption will grow significantly in Europe and worldwide. This demand for electricity cannot be supported by fossil fuels, which led the European Union to set a goal of reducing traditional sources of non-renewable energy. The energy supply should tend to be supported by renewable sources. Wind and sun are among the most significant renewable energy sources. Ocean energy conversion technologies are still in the development, testing and experimental validation phase, with some of these devices having failed given the adversities of the environment in which they operate, which is the sea. These technologies incorporate, for the most part, complex mechanical systems, in which there is direct contact of the mechanisms with relative movements with the sea, and have resulted in reduced energy production and reduced operating life. This project presents the development of the electrical component of a device, whose concept has been developed, for a Power Take Off (PTO) mechanism, for the recovery of energy from sea waves. |
