Abstract
It is an enormous challenge in current society to achieve a stable energy supply from renewables. Ocean Grazer is a company that has developed a concept that could contribute to achieving this challenge. To deliver a competitive product, the concept that harvests and stores wave and wind energy must have optimal efficiency. Therefore, the efficiency of a hydraulic system to transport the harvested energy by the Wave Energy Converter to the Ocean Battery is investigated. In this research, the losses in a hydraulic tube and hydraulic motor to transport the harvested energy to the Ocean Battery were determined for varying power inputs and the efficiency in these components was computed. Furthermore, a survey of applicable generators to connect to the hydraulic motor to generate electricity in the Ocean Battery is presented, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using Pump as Turbines in the Ocean Battery.
