Study on Power Converting System of Liquid Metal MHD Generator Driven by Wave Energy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper firstly describes magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator, which makes use of liquid metal and provide an excellent match to the mechanical impedance of an ocean wave. Then a new power converting system especially for LMMHD generator is designed and simulated, the results show that the power converting system can meet the requirement of LMMHD generator and has the advantage of lower cost.
