Ocean waves energy converter - Wave Dragon MW

摘要

The paper has as an objective to combine and disseminate information on generators and power electronics solutions for Wave Dragon MW Power Take Off system. Wave Dragon MW captures power from the sea waves by means of low-head turbines and converts it to rotating mechanical power. In recent years because of energetic problem on almost whole world power electronics and electric machines as well as renewable energy market has been intensively developed. Problems which can appear in mechanical power to electrical power conversion in Wave Dragon MW can be expected to be similar as in wind turbine. However, subject of the mechanical energy conversion from sea waves to electrical energy is not well identified and further research should be curried out.
