Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Standalone Wave Power Conversion System for Sustainable Power Supply at Perhentian Island

In developing country like Malaysia, the development of islands is mostly related to the electric power availability. Because there are many islands in Malaysia where the power grid is not available. As an island surrounded by sea, wave energy can be considered one of the environmental friendly power generating sources for island communities. But, high dependency on weather conditions is the main drawback of wave energy source. To overcome this drawback; wave energy device, energy storage devices and the electronic converters need to be integrated with each other. This study presents a battery storage standalone oscillating water column wave energy conversion system for island electrification in Malaysia
