This paper presents the characterization of sea wave behavior in some areas of Lattakia
shore, through monitoring for more than one site different from each other by terrain,
water depth and bottom type (sand, rocks).
It also presents results of m
easurements of wave height values and their period at
breakwater area of Lattakia port, and also shows results of power calculations trans- mitted
with waves and speed of those waves, and brings a comparison of energy values calculated
using different experimental equations is being used globally, and shows that wave's speed
and period are independent from each other.
Also shows that it is possible to apply wave power techniques in Syria ,relying on principle
of high strength and low height , best way to achieve this is through hydraulic circuits ,and
installation of a central system and several subsystems connected to it ,this provides a
continuous flow of power.
The recent few decades have witnessed growing interest in the environment- friendly
energy sources. Sea Wave Energy is considered as one of the energy sources in the
countries that are located on the seas and oceans. However, this energy source, ga
ined little
interest in Syria compared to sun and wind sources. The aim of this research is to
contribute to the body of research in this field, by developing and implementing an
experimental model of an oscillating water column system, which converts sea wave
energy into electrical energy.
Additionally, the research uses a set of true and false experiments to study the impact
of the technological variables of the system on its efficiency, hence on the number of
rotation of its Wells turbine. The results were represented graphically, and
recommendations and suggestions were provided for the possibility to apply this
technology in Syria.
