WP4 COMBINED HARVESTING OF OPEN SEA RENEWABLE ENERGY
(RTD)
WP PARTNERS:
- VIRTUALPIE-BHR
- UNIVERSIDAD DE VALLADOLID
- CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY
- FLOATING POWER PLANT
ACTIVITY:
An integrated wave-wind hydrodynamic model will be developed and optimized, including mechanical and structural assessment as well as environmental loading and shipbuilding considerations:
- selection and adaptation of most suitable wind turbines for coupling,
- design of wave platform with incorporation of wind turbines into water based power take-off,
- development of water based power take-off system for selected wind turbines,
- calculate power outputs and variations due to motion and input to switching system design,
- development of advanced control system to maximize total energy production of the hybrid converter.
