Feasibility Study of Re-Design of the Wells Turbine for Small Amplitude Ocean Waves Energy Conversion to Electricity by Analytical Method and Numerical Simulation, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Taeibi Rahni, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Abbaspour, Madjid (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research, the feasibility of the usage of the Wells turbine for direct conversion of the hydro-mechanical energy of the surface waves is studied via analytical and numerical methodologies. The results produced, showed for the first time that the Wells turbine can be employed for such waves directly and the performance variables are quite reasonable and even efficient considering low cost of HKWT system and abundant availability of those waves. For the low-frequency waves, the turbine is tested for different wave velocities to discover the best angular velocity of the rotor in terms of performance and the rotational velocity of 300 RPM has been found to be the optimum amount. Further,...
