Description
This thesis explores an approach for the measurement of the quality of power
generated by the Center of Ocean and Energy Technology's prototype ocean turbine. The
work includes the development of a system that measures the current and voltage
waveforms for all three phases of power created by the induction generator and quantifies
power variations and events that occur within the system. These so called "power quality
indices" are discussed in detail including the definition of each and how they are
calculated using LabYiew. The results of various tests demonstrate that this system is
accurate and may be implemented in the ocean turbine system to measure the quality of
power produced by the turbine. The work then explores a dynamic model of the ocean
turbine system that can be used to simulate the response of the turbine to varying
conditions.
