Alternative Energy Usage Types in Buildings and a Proposal for a Generator Working with Wave Energy

Abstract

The decrease in non-renewable resources, and global warming problem in the world is increasing the interest and demand for alternative energy sources. In addition to the investments made in renewable energies such as solar and wind in various countries, regions with coasts to oceans or seas also make new investments in wave energy.In this study, by comparing wave energy with other alternative renewable energy types from various angles, an alternative method is proposed for geographical regions without continuous wave generation, unlike previous studies. The basis of the method is to store the water mass pushed by the wave in a high level when the sea is wavy, and to generate energy by using the potential energy of this water body when it is passed to stagnant weather conditions. It is thought that the method can affect the preference criteria of alternative energy use in buildings.
