To meet the growing renewable energy need, many utilities have been built to extract energy from natural resources. The Pelamis wave energy converter is one of them. It is basically an offshore semi-submerged float type device operating in such a location where the depth of sea water is 50m...

Reports on the commissioning of the wave energy converter Pelamis in Scotland for generating power. Description of the structure and power generating process; Formation of wave-farms consisting of up to 40 converters; Funding details of the project....
Wave energy converters (WECs) harness the kinetic and potential energies in the ocean waves and convert them to useable electric energy via either turbines or hydraulic pumps. Although several different types of WECs are being developed today, only a few models have made it to the commercial ...
The Pelamis Wave Energy Converter is a semi-submerged, articulated structure composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints. The wave-induced motion of these joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure fluid through hydraulic motors via smoothing accumulators. These motors ...
