A non-submerged wave kinetic energy conversion system: Review

Green wave energy is abundant in the seas and it is currently being utilized to produce power on a large scale. It may also be used to power a single beacon, buoy, or underwater vehicle. A wave energy converter (WEC) device is a kind of wave energy harvesting device that transforms the kinetic energy of waves into electrical energy. Its primary feature is mobility, and it can be directly built on different types of power supply equipment, with promising development possibilities. A floating type WEC is described in this article. With the assistance of a permanent magnet and an induction coil, this suggested device transforms the mechanical energy of the wave into electrical energy. The suggested technology is based on the electromagnetic induction concept (EMI). This method uses ferrofluids to decrease the damping of the magnets’ motion while also amplifying the magnetic field. This system does not depend on hydraulics for energy conversion and can simply be moored to another offshore wind energy asset or to itself. The asset will be able to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reducing intermittency and ensuring consistent production all year. Despite the fact that previous study in this area has been conducted, there is a critical need for additional research in this field in the future.
