DESIGN AND MODELLING OF LINEAR GENERATORS FOR WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION FOR UN-MANED PLATFORM

The un-maned platform requires 1kW power supply for basic operation such as lighting system, protection system and protection system. Normally, the power for un-maned platform is supplied by solar panel. However, the solar panel had many drawbacks in term of big installed area, large storage area fo...
