Increasing the Efficiency of OEC with Use of Principle of Superposition and Thereby Increase Share of Wave Energy in Renewable Energy Resources
The quest for new renewable resources is at pinnacle in recent times. We have majorly 3 approaches Viz. [1] Finding new type of renewable resource. [2]Increase the use of already available renewable resources. [3] Increase the efficiency of prime movers so as to increase net power output by available quantity of renewable resources. This paper throws the light on unique idea of integrating the principle of superposition of waves and WEC. WEC or Wave Energy Convertor is a type of prime mover which was devised by OCEANLINX based in Australia. It basically works on compression of air column due to water column. The main drawback of wave energy is that it cannot be used in areas where waves are short and possess less energy. The new idea projected in this paper mainly addresses this issue and thus imparting the power to nations whose geographical location offers them generally short waves. Now they can also generate green energy and thus pushing world towards achieving goals of sustainable development.
