Wave Energy Research at Uppsala University and The Lysekil Research Site, Sweden : A Status Update
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper provides a summarized status update ofthe Lysekil wave power project. The Lysekil project is coordinatedby the Div. of Electricity, Uppsala University since 2002, with theobjective to develop full-scale wave power converters (WEC). Theconcept is based on a linear synchronous generator (anchored tothe seabed) driven by a heaving point absorber. This WEC has nogearbox or other mechanical or hydraulic conversion systems,resulting in a simpler and robust power plant. Since 2006, 12 suchWECs have been build and tested at the research site located atthe west coast of Sweden. The last update includes a new andextended project permit, deployment of a new marine substation,tests of several concepts of heaving buoys, grid connection,improved measuring station, improved modelling of wave powerfarms, implementation of remote operated vehicles forunderwater cable connection, and comprehensive environmentalmonitoring studies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A full scale linear generator for wave power has been experimentally evaluated bymeasuring the line force and translator position throughout the full translator stroke. The measuredline force, in relation to translator speed, generator damping and stator overlap, has been studied bycomparing the line force and the damping coefficient, γ, for multiple load cases along the translatorstroke length. The study also compares the generator ’s behavior during upward and downwardmotion, studies oscillations and determines the no load losses at two different speeds. The generatordamping factor, γ, was determined for five different load cases during both upward and downwardmotion. The γ value was found to be constant for full stator overlap and to decrease linearly witha decreasing overlap, as the translator moved towards the endstops. The decline varied with theexternal load case, as previously suggested but not shown. In addition, during partial stator overlap,a higher γ value was noted as the translator was leaving the stator, compared to when it was enteringthe stator. Finally, new insights were gained regarding how translator weight and generator dampingwill affect the translator downward motion during offshore operation. This is important for powerproduction and for avoiding damaging forces acting on the wave energy converter during operation.
