LiftWEC Newsletter 01 – August 2020 LiftWEC Newsletter 01 – August 2020 Welcome to the first LiftWEC project newsletter! This newsletter gives a short introduction to the LiftWEC project, the consortium and an outline of the first six months of work conducted within the project! Further newsletters will be published approximately every 6 months. If …
Work Package 09 Update – Project Month 06 Development of the LiftWEC technology requires identification of potential environmental and social impacts at the design stage. In this way, relevant findings on the potential Environmental and Social Impact of the system can be considered within the design and attempts made to mitigate or alleviate these concerns …
Work Package 08 Update – Project Month 06 Work on the Levelized Cost of Energy seeks to identify and feedback on the most significant potential cost saving measures available to the LiftWEC technology as it progresses through its developmental pathway. To support the calculation of the Levelized Cost of Energy cost database for a wave …
Work Package 07 Update – Project Month 06 The project will investigate options for the assembly, deployment, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of potential LiftWEC systems. The aim is to identify the device design requirements associated with O&M activities at an early stage in the project such that retrospective accountancy does not result in significant unforeseen …
Work Package 05 Update – Project Month 06 The requirements and potential for the use of control in lift-based Wave Energy Converters consisting of a series of rotating hydrofoils will be investigated and involves consideration of the possible goals of control through the development of a Performance Function for the LiftWEC system. The parametric structure …
Work Package 03 Update – Project Month 06 Hydrodynamic modelling will be used to investigate the hydrodynamics of lift-based Wave Energy Converters and to analyse the performance of potential LiftWEC systems. A variety of numerical models will be developed to achieve these goals. These will range from low-fidelity, global models which will employ analytical and …
