Abstract

Temelj obnovljivih izvora energije su neiscrpni prirodni procesi, koji za razliku od fosilnih goriva smanjuju emisije štetnih plinova i zagađivanje zraka. Njihovo smanjenje je od velike važnosti čime doprinosimo u borbi protiv klimatskih promjena. Danas valna energija ima relativno malu zastupljenost, ali napretkom tehnologije veoma se brzo napreduje. Veliki potencijal u proizvodnji valne energije su valni konverteri, koji su dizajnirani tako da pretvaraju kinetičku energiju morskih valova u električnu energiju. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je određivanje najpovoljnije lokacije za ugradnju grupe valnih konvertera (GVK) u akvatoriju u okolici trajektne luke Žigljen. U radu je korišten spektralni numerički model valnog generiranja i valnih deformacija Mike 21/SW te podloge vjetra iz atmosferskog modela Aladin Hr. Nakon provedene analize iz spektralnog valnog modela te proračunom polja pronosa valne energije J, određena je "mikro" lokacija za postavljanje konvertera.

Abstract (english)

The foundation of renewable energy sources lies in inexhaustible natural processes, which, unlike fossil fuels, reduce harmful gas emissions and air pollution. Their reduction is of great importance, contributing to the fight against climate change. Today, wave energy has a relatively small share, but with technological advancements, it is rapidly progressing. A major potential in wave energy production comes from wave converters, which are designed to convert the kinetic energy of ocean waves into electrical energy. The aim of this thesis is to determine the most suitable location for installing a group of wave converters (GVK) in the waters near the ferry port of Žigljen. The study utilized the spectral numerical model Mike 21/SW for wave generation and deformation, along with wind data from the atmospheric model Aladin Hr. After conducting an analysis using the spectral wave model and calculating the wave energy transport field J, a "micro" location for the installation of the converters was determined.
