Abstract

This paper presents a practical application of Harvesting Ocean Power of Break Waves in the Indian ocean shores, conversion into Electrical Energy, and distribution to the Coastal States. The Indian peninsula has ten coastal states that can generate electricity from Wave Energy Converters (WEC). Unlike Western countries, off-shore WECs of each more than 500 kW are built-in Oscillating Water Column (OWC) of Floating Wind Power, Heavy Buoy Device, etc. We employ 30 to 35 numbers array of PM alternators of each 30 to 50 kW. They are positioned in a zigzag pattern at 100 to 150 meters long on the Shallow Water shore, where the Breaking Sea Waves evolve to give one MVA power or more. The generated power is brought to the shore stations for conditioning and converting to three-phase 440 Volts 50 Hz power for distributions. We have the potential to transform Break Wave Power of 40,000 MVA through the length of the Indian Ocean shore.
