DESAIN GENERATOR LINIER UNTUK MEMANEN ENERGI GELOMBANG

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with the fourth largest population in the world. The increasing population makes the demand for electrical energy also increase. In line with the government's policy on the importance of providing electrical energy that comes from clean energy and does not pollute the environment. Then the use of renewable energy is a very appropriate solution, one of the most abundant renewable energies in Indonesia is wave energy. Harvesting wave energy can be done using a Linear Generator. The purpose of this research is to find out how the design and performance of a linear generator in harvesting wave energy. This research was conducted using experimental research methods (experimental research), where the results of the linear generator design will be tested in a simulation pond in order to harvest wave energy. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics to describe the research results in the form of tables and graphs. The data from this research is that the maximum output power that can be produced by a linear generator is 0.08885 W at a wave height of 7.73 cm and a wave period of 1.22 s. The maximum wave power produced by the linear generator is 1.064 W. The best performance produced by the linear generator system is 8.3%.
