REVIEW AND MODIFICATION OF THE DESIGN OF A SIMPLE WAVE ENERGY HARVESTING UNIT SUITABLE FOR LOCAL USE

ABSTRACT

The main findings and achievement of the project work are stated below;

1. Wave activity in Gelegele community was surveyed and data collected. The observation is the community experience low waves compare to another coastal region in Nigeria.
2. Make a design of a Grid Connected Wave Array model to harness energy in site that experienced low waves.
3. The device designed gave an output of 180v per 0.5s. If we have 10 of the same device installed in the site, the energy yield will be equivalent to 1800v.
