Abstract

The urgency of electricity demand and environmentally friendly power generator made ocean wave energy as one of many renewable energies that could be implemented in Indonesia because many of its coastlines have the power enough to generate electricity locally and regionally. This research is mainly discussing the model’s capability to generate electricity based on various wave height and period. This energy harvester model made in the laboratory with 1:16 scale, so the other variable component also following this scale. The turbine used in this experiment using Wells turbine with seven blades following the profile guidelines of NACA 0024. The result of this research shows that the power generated by the turbine correlates to wave height and wave period. The output generated by this energy harvester model could achieve 21.2 kilowatts in one hour on average or 339.4 kilowatts in one hour if upscaled to its real size.
