Overview
A submerged wave carpet is a deformable plate, or elastic mat, that can be used to extract the wave energy, and for mitigation of large waves in coastal areas. Similarly, a wave carpet is a mud-resembling deformable plate that can potentially extract the entire wave energy. The plate deformation can be transferred into electricity generation by a direct-drive power take-off system connected to the plate.
Wave Carpet - Protecting coastal zones while generating electricity is offered at University of Dundee.
Programme Structure
The goal of this project is:
- to solve the problem of interaction of nonlinear long-waves with the elastic submerged plate by developing theoretical tools
- to determine the power output of the device
- to determine the effect of the wave energy devices on coastal areas.
