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 [...]
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 substantial [...]
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, [...]
The usage and combination of renewable energy resources (RES) that leads to distributed energy resources (DER) are developing rapidly in power system architecture nowadays. Some of the reasons are insufficiency of fossil fuels in the future, reduce greenhouse gases emission, [...]
Microgrid concept is becoming very popular in the world where different forms of renewable energy resources are integrated in a hub to supply electricity in remote areas and islands. The main goal of my PhD thesis is to design and [...]
With the rapid development of Direct Current (DC) energy sources, different DC loads in many industries and DC energy storage systems, major research area has been established for development of DC microgrids. Most of the DC Energy sources have the [...]
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 [...]
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 PhD study is targeted at (i) examining the technical barriers to realising pure-DC microgrids; (ii) contributing to a plan to overcome these barriers; (iii) contributing to the design of a pure-DC microgrid for the Blue Economy CRC and [...]
