Riassunto
The work presents a conceptual analysis and characterization of a dielectric-elastomer-based generator for wave energy conversion.
A general overview on Wave Energy Converters (WECs) is presented: a state of the art of the technologies is traced, and some analytical models are proposed for the most significant categories of devices.
Successively, attention is focused on Dielectric Elastomer Generators (DEGs) and on their application to WECs. A lozenge-shaped DEG is analyzed: experimental results from mechanical characterization of the polymeric material are reported, and a mathematical model of the device is presented, with the aim of assessing the maximum convertible energy.
Successively, a coupled model of an Oscillating Surge WEC exploiting the above mentioned DEG as power take-off is presented.
