The impact of The variations in the main Parameters of The Horizontal Energy Exchange Chamber in a Sea Wave Energy Conversion System, on its Efficiency. An Experimental Study


Abstract in English

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, gained 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.
