Hybrid System Design for Energy Harvesting from Low-Amplitude Ocean Waves

Resumen

This paper describes a hybrid system design consisting of a marine nozzle and a wave energy converter to enhance energy harvesting from low-amplitude ocean waves. The main goal of the proposed design is to get energy from water sea waves. Laboratory experiments show the efficiency and effects for the energy conversion/harvesting system in the case of three sets of low-amplitude waves against the designed nozzle’s hybrid system with a mechanical wave converter to store the energy in a laboratory tank. The results show a satisfactory operation of the system managing low-amplitude sea waves to produce energy conversion.
