A review of Archimedes Wave Swing converter technology as a wave energy converter

Today, renewable energy is becoming increasingly important due to the high cost of oil and its unavailability for all communities, as well as the issue of global warming and environmental issues. One of the sources of renewable energy is the energy of the waves of the sea, which can play an important role in the future of energy. In order to exploit the energy of the waves, there is a need to use modern equipment called the wave energy converter to change the wave energy into electrical energy. One of the wave energy converter is Archimedes wave swing. This converter is a well-submerged,fixed-bed equipment in the seabed and it has a simple system compared to other types of converters. its production capacity is remarkable, and its maintenance rates are much lower. In this paper principles of performance and its emergence from the beginning of the idea until now, and the results of the latest research and samples made by this converter have been investigated. In the end, the power output of this type of converter is compared with other converters, and its output power is calculated depending on its controller.
