Determination of Operating Parameters of Hybrid System for Wave Energy Utilization

Abstract

The paper deals with the possibilities for utilization of the wind wave energy potential in the Bulgarian Black sea territorial waters using hybrid system, which is from water turbines with oscillating blades and air turbine type “Wells”. Information about the wave climate in Bulgarian territorial sea is obtained from published results about offshore wave energy based on long-term hind cast and studies on the Bulgarian Black sea coast wave exposure. It is also make an experiment and main parameters of turbine is calculated for two studies.
