Tidal Wave Energy Converter

M. De Kloet-2015-07-03-Research Repository (Delft University of Technology)

TL;DRAbstract

This report focuses on a feasibility study of a device that harvests electricity from the vertical motion of pontoons in tidal waves. The study includes an overall look into tidal prediction through laser satellite altimetry and converts the ocean based data of these models into near shore approximations. Furthermore the report compares several pressure based energy conversion mechanisms and foundation methods to finally come to a conclusion on the technical and financial feasibility of the device.
