Performance Assessment of Wave Energy Farm Module of Multi Connected Halbach Linear Generators under Different Waves Spectrum

Abstract

According The unmistakable potential of wave energy in Egypt , small wave energy modules to form a small farm is presented in this paper, such a small farm may be useful for onshore activities or offshore activities using Halbach linear generator. The study is performed for different spectrum of wave characteristic available in the Mediterranean Sea. Using maximum power point tracking technique Analytical model is deployed to investigate voltage, current and power for every generator and for the overall system under different incident waves spectrum. The results find a technical guide for both control strategy and energy converter design requirements.
