TOPIC:
The Development and Implementation of a MATLAB Based Model Representing the Power-Take Off Unit of a Wave Energy Converter
ABSTRACT:
This thesis presents the development and implementation of a MATLAB-based model designed to represent the Power-Take Off (PTO) unit of the Maximal Asymmetric Wave Energy Converter (MADWEC) device. The objective was to create a model based on empirical data and mechanical principles to accurately represent a table-top prototype of the MADWEC PTO. This model will serve as a predictive tool, analyzing the performance of the PTO unit under various wave conditions and enabling the selection of optimal configurations based on the deployment location or power requirements. The computational model incorporates the PTO’s components, including a dual-dispensing reel, counterweight rewind mechanism, slip clutch, one-way clutch, gearbox, and generator. Leveraging the computational resources of MATLAB and its Simulink environment, the model was developed with an overall error of 1.36% compared to empirical data. This research details the development process of the model, including empirical data acquisition, analysis, and model optimization techniques. A performance estimation for the Nantucket Sound area indicated the potential power generation capabilities of the device, estimated at approximately 0.19 kilowatts an hour or 1.664 megawatts annually for that location. The study showcases a robust approach to predicting the efficiency and power output of MADWEC's PTO unit, providing a valuable tool for researchers and engineers in the field of renewable energy. It contributes to the understanding of WEC operations and supports the advancement of marine renewable energy systems by aiding in the design and optimization of WEC prototypes.

Blended Teaching: Designing Meaningful Content Connections
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: An engaging two-week, fully online certification course that introduces faculty to current research and best practices for blended teaching and learning. Using their discipline-specific course materials for activities, faculty will work independently, and collaboratively with peers from across campus, and with Instructional Designers to design and build one unit of blended instruction that can be incorporated into their course(s), to enhance student engagement and meaningful content connections. This unit of instruction will meet the Quality Blended Course Review Rubric criteria and be a model that faculty can reference and replicate as they continue to develop their upcoming blended course(s) on a myCourses site.
