Section 2: Project Objectives and Timelines

• Please list your objectives for the projects in bullet points.

➢ Designing a power electronic converter for optimal sea wave energy harvesting
while considering oscillating water columns.
➢ Design a prototype (scale down) version circuit and simulate it using accurate
software.
➢ Scaling down the devices for modularity.
➢ Finding a 100% electronic solution without mechanical voltage stabilization.
➢ Eliminating / Reducing voltage fluctuations
 • Detailed Project Timeline for this Semester.
