Накратко на български

Гъвкави, вдъхновени от природата структури за улавяне на хоризонталното движение на вълните в крайбрежните зони се анализират чрез числени методи. Това помага за увеличаване на произвежданата чиста електроенергия и подобряване на защитата на бреговете от ерозия.

Non-linear, control-informed optimisation of innovative wave absorbing structures using highly-efficient numerical methods

With an estimated 300 to 400 GW wave power resource along European Atlantic coastlines, and in line with the EU’s 2020 strategy’s challenge ‘Secure, clean and efficient energy’, wave energy (WE) could be a significant contributor to carbon-free, renewable electricity production in Europe, in addition to providing opportunities for economic growth and the creation of high-value jobs. However, as of today, the most advanced wave energy converter (WEC) technologies harvest less than 20% of the maximum power which could, theoretically, be captured by heaving mechanical structures of similar dimensions. Improving WEC design through research, by increasing the amount of absorbed energy while limiting capital cost, is thus an essential objective, to which the InWAS project will contribute. To that end, the InWAS project revisits the design of oscillating wave surge converters (OWSCs), which are WECs exploiting the horizontal wave-induced fluid motion in nearshore zones. With the double perspective of energy harvesting and coastal protection, arrays of flexible, bio-inspired structures are studied, which can improve survivability, and have excellent potential in terms of protection against coastal erosion, as previously pioneered at PMMH. Figure 1 illustrates the general framework concerning the modelling, simulation and optimisation of OWSCs, from individual device settings to array interactions, including the analysis of waves transmitted to the coast.

Цел на проекта

Throughout the InWAS project, the experienced researcher (ER) will apply computationally efficient numerical techniques to the non-linear, control-informed optimisation of innovative wave absorbing structures (InWAS). The project will accelerate the integration of wave energy into the European electricity mix, by developing more efficient designs. It will also help in disseminating innovative numerical methods amongst fluid dynamicists for other pertinent applications. The fellowship will be carried out at the ESPCI Paris within the PMMH lab (Physics and Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media), with the Biomimetics and Fluid-Structure Interaction group, under the supervision of Dr Ramiro Godoy-Diana and co-supervision of Dr Benjamin Thiria. The project will benefit from PMMH’s renowned expertise in theoretical and experimental hydrodynamic modelling, and the ER will make the most of this ideal working environment to extend his own skills and his research network. Two secondment periods, through stays at the Centre for Ocean Energy Research (COER), Maynooth University, Ireland, will be carried out under the supervision of Prof. John Ringwood. The secondments will ensure that the control-related aspects of the project are handled in a state-of-the-art fashion, based on COER’s leading academic status in system dynamics and control applied to wave energy. The project will yield novel licensable ideas with significant commercial prospects. By the end of the fellowship, the ER will have progressed on his way to become a recognised researcher, able to initiate and supervise his own projects at the intersection of fluid mechanics and non-linear system analysis and control.
