GUNT ET 270 - Wave energy converter, oscillating water column (OWC).

Wave energy converters use the energy from continuous wave movements for the environmentally friendly production of electricity. They can supply electrical energy along the coast, in particular to remote locations. Structurally they are easy to integrate into moles, harbour walls and coastal protection systems.
GUNT ET 270 is a laboratory-scale wave energy converter consisting of a wave generator, a wave flume and the OWC wave energy converter with a wells turbine unit.

Learning objectives / experiments
familiarisation with operating principles of a wave energy converter
understanding of energy generation from wave motion
measurement of wave motions
familiarisation with design and operation of a Wells turbine
optimisation of operating behaviour
