WECO - Offshore Energy Systems
•
2 likes•4,170 views
The document describes an offshore wave energy conversion system called WECO that uses an oscillating body column to harness wave energy and convert it to compressed air. The compressed air is then used to power air motors connected to electricity generators, forming basic production units. These units can be connected on floating platforms to form larger installations to exploit wave energy fields and integrate other renewable resources like solar, temperature differences, and wind via hybrid systems. The system allows for temporary energy storage in compressed air reservoirs and production of high quality electricity.

The document discusses offshore fish farming using intense floatation technologies. It describes how moving fish farms to deeper waters provides benefits but challenges that require new integrated technologies. Intense floatation technology is proposed, which involves a main buoyant unit below the surface to reduce wave forces. Mathematical modeling is used to simulate intense floatation bodies in waves and calculate motions, loads and tensions. Design considerations are outlined for realizing intense floatation technologies through modular buoyant structures, mooring line blocks, and anchors that can withstand loads from all conditions.
Offshore Energy Systems
The document describes the activities, products, and services of Offshore Energy Systems SA, including floating systems, bottom supported wharves on piles, wave absorbing systems, offshore energy systems, ship design and shipbuilding, port equipment, and research and development. Some key areas of focus and innovation are wave-absorbing systems, navigation and control systems for fast ships, ventilated hydrofoils, floating wind generators, and measuring wind potential offshore. The company aims to provide innovative solutions for environmental protection, financial, and energy crises through renewable offshore energy including wind and wave power.
Thessaloniki floating avenue-presentation-n
The document proposes two alternative solutions for a floating avenue at the port of Thessaloniki, Greece. The first alternative involves developing a large marina and tower, detached from the waterfront. The second alternative involves modules attached to the dock. The estimated costs are 180 million euros for Alternative I and 100 million euros for Alternative II. Construction would take 1.5 years and pay for itself within 3 years, while creating many local jobs.
Wave Absorbers Technologies
This document discusses wave absorbing technologies developed by Offshore Energy Systems SA. It describes how wave energy is concentrated near the sea surface, so absorbing structures are needed there. The company developed Intense Floating Bodies carrying standardized, variably inclined wave absorbing cells that break incoming waves into smaller fields to reduce forces. Field tests of these wave absorbers and a wave energy exploitation apparatus were successful in Laurion. This led Offshore Energy Systems SA to offer a product range of floating, bottom-supported, and dock wave absorbers.

This document proposes integrating hydropower stations, floating solar panels, and wind turbines to create self-controlled smart grids in Greece. It outlines Greece's renewable energy goals and challenges integrating intermittent solar and wind power. The proposal is to install floating solar panels on existing artificial lakes and reservoirs to take advantage of existing electrical infrastructure and reduce costs. Combining the solar and hydropower with wind would allow controlling overall power production to match demand and provide stable, high-quality energy through "ring grids" or "virtual ring grids". Floating the solar panels offers significant potential capacity while improving panel performance and having environmental benefits compared to land installations.

Energy Harvesting for IoT
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how energy harvesters are becoming more economically feasible for the Internet of Things (IoT). Small amounts of energy can be harvested from vibrations, temperature differences, and radio frequencies using various types of electronic devices such as piezoelectric, MEMS, thermo-electric power generators, and other devices. As improvements in them occur and as the energy requirements of accelerometers, pressure sensors, gas detectors, bio-sensors, and readout circuits fall from microwatts to hundreds of nano-watts, energy harvesters become cheaper and better than are batteries. Improvements in energy harvesting are occurring in the form of higher power per area or higher power per temperature difference and improvements of about five times are expected to occur in the next 5 to 10 years. The market for energy harvesters is expected to reach $2.5 Billion by 2024. In addition to their impact on buildings and the other usual applications for IoT, they will also impact on agriculture, aircraft, and medical implants.

ABSTRACT | This paper presents a comprehensive study on the
state-of-the-art and emerging wind energy technologies from
the electrical engineering perspective. In an attempt to de-
crease cost of energy, increase the wind energy conversion
efficiency, reliability, power density, and comply with the strin-
gent grid codes, the electric generators and power electronic
converters have emerged in a rigorous manner. From the mar-
ket based survey, the most successful generator-converter
configurations are addressed along with few promising topol-
ogies available in the literature. The back-to-back connected
converters, passive generator-side converters, converters for
multiphase generators, and converters without intermediate
dc-link are investigated for high-power wind energy conver-
sion systems (WECS), and presented in low and medium voltage
category. The onshore and offshore wind farm configurations
are analyzed with respect to the series/parallel connection of
wind turbine ac/dc output terminals, and high voltage ac/dc
transmission. The fault-ride through compliance methods used
in the induction and synchronous generator based WECS are
also discussed. The past, present and future trends in megawatt
WECS are reviewed in terms of mechanical and electrical tech-
nologies, integration to power systems, and control theory. The
important survey results, and technical merits and demerits of
various WECS electrical systems are summarized by tables. The
list of current and future wind turbines are also provided along
with technical details.

This document discusses the potential of ultra-deep geothermal energy and a new drilling technology called Plasmabit that could enable access to this energy source. Currently, most geothermal energy is obtained from depths of 2-4 km where temperatures are suitable for electricity production. However, 99% of the Earth's volume has temperatures over 1000°C that could be used for energy. Plasmabit is a non-contact plasma drilling technology that could access reservoirs at depths of 5-10 km in a cost-effective manner. It uses a high-speed electric arc that reaches temperatures over 5000°C to disintegrate rock. This technology has the potential to unlock vast new sources of renewable geothermal energy globally.
TETHYS Presentation

Analysis found the concept to be technically feasible and profitable compared to a mothership design, with economics dependent on platform costs and wave energy converter performance. The conclusions were that TETHYS could be a stabilized, multi-use platform that safely expands offshore renewable energy development.

BP Deep Horizon Oil Field. A proposal for tackling the oil leakage at the Gul...
The document proposes using a large anchored balloon to capture oil flowing from the damaged Deepwater Horizon wellhead underwater. The balloon would not fully seal the wellhead. Oil rising into the balloon would be pumped through a flexible pipe to a storage facility at the surface. Calculations using estimated well data show this may allow continuous capture of the oil flow. The concept requires more analysis and testing by engineers familiar with the well characteristics to evaluate feasibility. Key challenges include ensuring the pipe flow rate matches the well flow rate and preventing gas hydrate formation.
