Power generation using oscillating water column owc
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryThe main theme and the research behind this project is to make the tidal energy useful by generating electrical energy by the means of the Oscillating Water Column turbine. The ocean and the sea waves carry a huge amount of the kinetic energy due to the change in the amplitude by the means of the Oscillating Water Column turbine we can use this energy for the generation of the electrical energy.
Project ObjectivesThe main aim or objective behind this project to made electricity free of cost with very low investment with no environmental effects for this we chose this technique known as OWC.Using this technique we get electrical output without any interruption and without any environmental effects.
Project Implementation MethodThe implementation of project include following steps
- Research work
- Physical model design
- Software Simmulation & testing
- Final testing
First of all we spend our most of time on research about our idea then work on design & software.Then finally we execute our idea into physical shape.
Benefits of the ProjectThese are benefits of the project are
- Low operating cost
- Clean energy
- No environmental factor
- High life span
- Can be installed anywhere where tides or oscillations are present
Project include following techniqal details
Equipments
- Aquarium
- Wind turbine
- Generator
- Arduino & power supply
- Battries
Specification
By the use of this hardware we can gnerate clean & green energy without any operating cost.the power obtained from this generation is 220W and reliable we can increase it by increasing no of systems.It is cheaper than solar & wind generation.
