“…Several MATLAB programs have been developed recently to estimate the environmental forces such as wave, wind, and currents on marine and submarine structures in both frequency and time domain Bayoumi et al 13 MATLAB programs showed the advantages of simplicity, time, and money saving with acceptable accuracy compared to Computational Fluid Dynamics packages in many cases. To validate the ability of the developed program to accurately estimate hydrodynamic forces, UWAHYDRO program developed at the University of Western Australia by BS Youssef 14 was chosen to be a reference of check.…”

A MATLAB program was developed to estimate the hydrodynamic forces due to wave and current on an un-trenched submarine cable of diameter 9 in resting at the bottom of a 14-m depth sea, utilizing the Fourier decomposition method. The aim of this part of the research is to provide an accurate estimation of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the cable and to present a comparison between the Morison force model and Fourier decomposition force model. In addition, investigating the methods of fixation for submarine pipes and cables as the commonly used methods is of high cost for both manufacturing and installation and maintenance processes has many drawbacks. This research is concerned with the ability of the cable to be stable on the seabed using its own weight and, if required, estimating extra chain weight to be added helping stabilize the cable on the seabed. A validation of the developed program with UWAHYDRO program developed in the Western Australia University is introduced in this article.

“…Efforts have been made to improve the efficiency and operating performance of OWCs by Sarmento [24], Evans and Porter [25], Morris-Thomas et al [26] and Ram [27]. Dynamic modeling and experimental verification of small-scale OWC WECs have been studied by Bayoumi [28]. Because of its simplicity, a small OWC is considered as a potential power source for the battery system and tidal compensator.…”

This paper presents two wave energy concepts for small-scale electricity generation. In the presented case, these concepts are installed on the buoy of a heaving, point-absorbing wave energy converter (WEC) for large scale electricity production. In the studied WEC, developed by Uppsala University, small-scale electricity generation in the buoy is needed to power a tidal compensating system designed to increase the performance of the WEC in areas with high tides.The two considered and modeled concepts are an oscillating water column (OWC) and a heaving point absorber. The results indicate that the OWC is too small for the task and does not produce enough energy. On the other hand, the results show that a hybrid system composed of a small heaving point absorber combined with a solar energy system would be able to provide a requested minimum power of around 37.7 W on average year around. The WEC and solar panel complement each other, as the WEC produces enough energy by itself during wintertime (but not in the summer), while the solar panel produces enough energy in the summer (but not in the winter).
