{"projectrec":{"ProID":3794,"StandardTitle":"Flanders Electicity from the Sea","OrigTitle":null,"Acronym":"FlanSea","AbstractEnglish":"The basic objective is to generate renewable energy and produce electricity at current (competitive) market prices. The first objective is to bring the cost price down to the same level as charged for other forms of offshore energy e.g. offshore wind generated energy.\r\nHence, the devices developed for the purpose need to be able to “catch” the energy generated by waves with the same efficiency and effectiveness and subsequently convert it into electrical power.\r\n\r\nIn the development of the wave energy converters, the designers and developers have generally concentrated their efforts on marine areas distinguished by outsized wave actions, meaning zones that produce excessive wave energy. Such marine zones are, however, also breeding grounds for major violent storms. These storm waves bring large pressures to bear on the wave energy converters, thus placing high demands on the structural strength of these devices. Their resistance to such extreme conditions, called their ‘survivability’, is therefore as crucial as their efficiency.\r\n\r\nThe development, construction and the secure anchorage of a device that can sustain the barrage of major storms without suffering damage not only affects the cost price, it also has to prove technically feasible!\r\n\r\nExperiences with a string of failures of large converters under violent storm conditions call for a cautious approach. The FlanSea converters therefore are meant for use in marine areas in more moderate wave climate zones, such as, for example, the southern part of the North Sea.\r\n\r\nThe team’s ultimate objective is the development and production of robust and efficient wave energy converters suited for use in a moderate wave climate and cosst-effective in mass production with other renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind generated energy.","AbstractOtherLang":"De basisdoelstelling is hernieuwbare energie te winnen en elektriciteit te produceren tegen een marktconforme prijs. De eerste doelstelling is de kostprijs op hetzelfde niveau te brengen als andere offshore energie zoals offshore wind. De toestellen moeten dus op efficiënte wijze energie van de golven “opvangen” en omzetten in elektriciteit.\r\n\r\nBij de ontwikkeling van de golfenergieconvertoren hebben de ontwerpers en ontwikkelaars zich vooral gericht op zones in de zee met grote golven, dus met veel golfenergie. In deze regio’s treden echter ook vaak agressieve stormen op. Deze stormgolven oefenen een grote kracht uit op de golfenergieconvertoren waardoor er hoge eisen worden gesteld aan de structurele sterkte. De ‘overleefbaarheid’ (Eng: survivability) is eigenlijk even belangrijk als de efficiëntie.\r\n\r\nHet toestel ontwikkelen, bouwen, verankeren, zodat het zware stormen onbeschadigd kan overleven, heeft niet alleen een sterke impact op de kostprijs; het moet ook nog technisch mogelijk zijn!\r\n\r\nErvaringen met meerdere falingen van grote convertoren in ruwe zee zetten aan tot voorzichtigheid. FlanSea richt zich op de meer gematigde golfklimaat, met als voorbeelden het zuidelijk deel van de Noordzee.\r\n\r\nHet ultieme einddoel is uiteindelijk het ontwikkelen en produceren van robuuste en effciënte golfenergieconvertoren voor een gematigd golfklimaat, die in massaproductie kostcompetitief zijn met andere hernieuwbare energiebronnen zoals offshore windenergie.","DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-05-06 10:25:46.257000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":null,"EndYear":null,"BMonth":null,"EMonth":null,"BeginMonth":null,"EndMonth":null,"OrigTitleLangCode":null,"OrigTitleLangID":null,"OrigTitleLangNL":null,"OrigTitleLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangCode":"nl","OtherAbstractLangID":41,"OtherAbstractLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","Progress":null,"ProgressNL":null,"PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ND":"2010-12-01","UD":"2010-12-01","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":null,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"AWW","ProPartID":12492,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Ghent University;
