Abstract

The Ocean Grazer exploits the energy potential in our oceans by creating a wave energy converter. In order to have an optimal power extraction, a transmission system with an adaptable ratio is needed to account for the variety of sea states. This research looks at the influence of a transmission system with an adaptable ratio, and the influence of a location, on the performance of the Ocean Grazer wave energy converter. The study shows that a transmission system with a ratio that is adaptable for every incoming wave creates the highest efficiency. The location where the wave energy converter is placed significantly influences its performance because a location determines the incoming waves throughout the year. The location also determines the requirements of maintenance and transportation of energy, which indirectly influences the performance of the wave energy converter.
