About

The principle concept of a wave carpet energy device is similar to that of propagation of waves over a muddy seafloor, where significant amount of wave energy attenuates due to the strong interaction with the mud banks. Wave Carpet - Protecting coastal zones while generating electricity  is offered at University of Dundee 

Overview

Context

Similarly, a wave carpet is a mud-resembling deformable plate that can potentially extract the entire wave energy. The plate deformation can be transferred into electricity generation by a direct-drive power take-off system connected to the plate. 

A submerged wave carpet is a deformable plate, or elastic mat, that can be used to extract the wave energy, and for mitigation of large waves in coastal areas. 

Wave Carpet - Protecting coastal zones while generating electricity  is offered at University of Dundee 

Programme Structure

The goal of this project is
  •  to solve the problem of interaction of nonlinear long-waves with the elastic submerged plate by developing theoretical tools
  • to determine the power output of the device
  • to determine the effect of the wave energy devices on coastal areas.
