Ocean wave energy has not yet gained popularity as a renewable energy source because of intermittent nature of available wave power. Still deriving a constant power at the output, requires embedding of energy storage devices of sufficient capacity into the wave energy converter. A Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator(PMSG) based adjustable speed...

The power take-off mechanism of the oscillating water column based Indian wave energy plant is based on an impulse turbine-permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) set. The MATLAB based simulation of the dynamic model of this power module, considering the plant's operation on the stand-alone mode, is developed incorporating a machine variable...

A new scheme for reducing the fluctuations in power to a grid-connected wave energy plant is proposed. It achieves this by physically decoupling the turbine from the induction generator and by using a secondary rotating scheme. Experimental results from a wave energy plant are reported, which led to the solution.

This paper investigates on the reduction of fluctuations in power generated from a prototype wave energy plant, installed as a part of the on-going Indian wave energy programme, when operated on grid connected mode. The plant, employing an impulse turbine for conversion of differential pressure due to the oscillating water column (OWC) into mechani...

Despite several wave energy plants based on oscillating water column concept having been tested worldwide, wave energy has not yet gained popularity as a renewable energy source because of highly intermittent nature of available wave power. Still maintaining a constant voltage and frequency at the output, requires embedding of energy storage device...

To meet the peak energy demand occurring during evening hours, often gas turbine based power plants (GTPP) of few MW rating, distributed over the grid network geographically, are followed. GTPPs are faster to start, have lower gestation period of installation, lead to lesser carbon emission and acceptable by recent Kyoto protocol, when compared to...
