Structural Design of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) Devices Using the VDI 2222 Method
Abstract
Waves are a form of renewable energy that can be utilized and will not run out like fossil energy. In this study, the design of marine building structures for Wave Energy Converter (WEC) devices was carried out using the VDI 2222 method. This method begins with the planning process to produce the product and its technical demands are regular until the completion process. After knowing the value of the Combined Function Alternative (CFA) that CFA II has the highest percentage value in the aspects of technical and economic assessment, the next step is the embodiment of the design in the specification of the (WEC) layout engineering drawing form. The design results of the (WEC) device were obtained with the dimensions of total height: 5.00 m; Width: 1.5 m; and Length:1.5 m. The trial was carried out at Tanjung Pasir Beach on November 12-13, and it works optimally to withstand the dynamic load of sea waves and is able to become a supporting component of the Wave Energy Conversion device machine at a maximum sea depth of 3.00 meters with waves as high as 1.5 meters.
