Project Description
Wave Energy Power Generator (WEPG)
The Wave Energy Power
Generator efficiently captures the ocean wave energy and converts it
into useful electrical power; by taking advantage of the heave movement of the
waves, a buoy driven submerged piston pumps large volumes of water into
a storage tank which directs the fluid to a hydro-turbine and ultimately
generates electrical power. This project focuses on the mechanism of the
buoy and piston-cylinder assemblies and demonstrates the feasibility of
an actual system.
