The efficient and cost-effective conversion of wave energy into electrical energy has remained an unsolved technological challenge. In collaboration with Carnegie Clean Energy Limited and Advanced Composite Structures Australia, this project attempts to develop a novel fibre reinforced plastic mooring [...]
The project will involve identifying Design Waves on structures with different driving loads, with focus on offshore renewables. Design Waves are sequences of waves which induce the extreme load or extreme response on an offshore structure. The concept is [...]
Australia has high-quality offshore wind resources along its extensive southwestern, southern, and southeastern coastlines. The wind is strong and consistent. To harness the abundant offshore wind energy, six prior offshore wind areas have been officially declared by Department of [...]
Offshore wind farms (OWF) are a critical industry, which must grow substantially for nations to reach net zero climate targets, including Australia. These wind farms include the installation of subsea vertical and horizontal structures, which may subsequently attract marine taxa [...]
My project, "Physical and Numerical modelling of Wave Energy Converter" aims to optimise the M4 wave energy converter, uncovering its behaviour and performance in varying marine conditions. With enhanced energy conversion capabilities, the M4 device could contribute to a [...]
Small-scale model studies are a crucial step in the development of wave energy converters (WECs) prior to deployment in rough ocean conditions. They serve not only to assess performance across various sea states but also to fine-tune design parameters, [...]
Hi, I am Bawantha Indrajith. I received my Bachelor of Science honours degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Then, I was involved in research on novel current controller for rectifier/inverter module and the impact [...]
This project aims to capture wave energy using compressed air energy storage technology. It consists of three specific steps: First, through literature review, a new type of wave-driven compressed air energy storage system is proposed and developed based on an [...]
