Design Simulation and Fabrication of Ocean Wave Energy Converter
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryKeeping in view the increasing energy demands of the country we developed an ocean wave energy converter that uses a turbine to convert energy from waves into electricity.
Our Turbine had an efficiency of 54 percent and the fabricated demonstration model proved to be a good model for an explanation.
-To Design, Simulate, and Fabricate the Ocean Wave Energy Convertor
-To improve its efficiency with the help of a turbine harnessing maximum energy.
-Addition of middle vane in turbine design to improve efficiency
The project can be implemented on ocean coastal lines with the help of 2 components only
1- A chamber that captures the waves and tides helps compress the air inside the chamber and deliver it to the turbine at high speeds.
2- A turbine with a design such that it would be able to convert the bi-directional flow of air into electricity.
Benefits of the Project-Helps overcome the energy crisis in Pakistan.
-Pollution-free
-A virtually infinite source of energy
-No Labour is needed
-Easy Maintainance
- A wave generator Mechanism with the help of a motor
-A tank and chamber made of acrylic glass to demonstrate the model in the most efficient manner
-A Turbine that was designed with advanced engineering knowledge and fabricated with PLA
