Here are some new technologies developed by big brand names in the field of marine energy development. Albatern: WaveNET technology Based on the technology of modules and associated nodes, this project has been granted 617,000 pounds under the WATERS2 scheme. With a development and testing phase in the period of…
The marine energy industry has been in a state of technological developments recently. The efforts of many companies are being rewarded by various Government organizations which provide financial aid to boost research so that the industry keeps developing forward. The most recent announcement was made by the Scottish Government which…
The output voltage of a permanent magnet alternator depends on the shaft rpm and the load. The higher the rpm, the higher is the voltage. The higher the load for a given rpm, the lower is the voltage. Connection to Current and RPM o Load The current (“amperage”) of a…
In marine environments where the sources of electricity are scarce, batteries are the only viable option and due to high wind speed at sea, these wind turbine battery charging options become a very profitable and convenient source. The overall cost of electricity is reduced. Also with battery usage the overall…
The market for small wind turbines is providing added electrification needed in remote areas. Many parts of the world are still running on electricity from batteries rather than electrical grids laid by national power corporations. Telecom companies who have to provide uninterrupted signals in remote areas rely on batteries and…
Still many considerations are to be taken into account to get the desired efficiency. If the rotor speed is low i.e if the frequency is low then a larger construction is required which increases the overall cost. Hence newer designs are required which increases the efficiency along with smaller designs.…
