Importance of drivetrain optimisation to maximise electrical power from wave energy converters
Abstract This article demonstrates the benefits of optimising the drivetrain to improve the level and quality of electrical power output from a wave energy converter. The study considers a spherical buoy connected to a permanent magnet synchronous generator through a mechanical drive. The wave energ...
