Generación de energía eléctrica con turbinas Wells

Abstract

Describes the theoretical design procedure of wells turbines, typically utilized in Pneumatic Wave Energy Conversion Systems (PWECS). The principle behind the PWECS consists of extracting the pneumatic energy caused by an oscillanting water column by the entrance of water in enclosed spaces. The paper establishes the desig and experimetal testing of a small permanent magnet generator suited for the wells turbine under development. The adequate matching between the wells turbine and the generator hsa been conceived as a portable 50w d.c. electricity generation device; to be used, either, to powering telecommuncations systems im military operations or to power navigation aids in rivers or at sea
