An Oscillating Water Column (OWC): The Wave Energy Converter
Ocean waves are a valuable resource of renewable energy that can make a significant contribution to the supply of electricity to countries situated offshore when used in great measure. An extensive range of innovations was proposed, investigated, and assessed in some cases under actual ocean conditions. OWC devices are an important class of wave energy method. The majority of designs used in the conversion of wave energy into the sea are OWC. There is a fixed or floating hollow structure in an OWC under the water surface, which pits the air over the inner free zone. The wave action alternately compresses and separates the air that is forced to flow into a turbine together with a generator. A detailed analysis of OWC technologies is discussed in this paper.
