Performance of a Direct-Driven Wave Energy Point Absorber with High Inertia Rotatory Power Take-off

Performance of a Direct-Driven Wave Energy Point Absorber with High Inertia Rotatory Power Take-off

An alternating rotatory generator using an eddy current break is developed as a physical scale model of a direct-driven floating point absorber power take-off (PTO) for wave tank tests. It is shown that this design is a simple and cost-effective way to get an accurate linear damping PTO. The device...
