N2 - Wave energy generation is one of the promising renewable energy generation systems. It has broad distribution around the world, with enormous potential. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of a pontoon roller wave energy converter (WEC) is presented. The pontoon roller WEC is located at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (TMFT), Singapore. The paper shows the WEC system deployed at TMFT, Singapore. The power generation system is developed from the wave turbine, which is a roller operated by the wave through the pontoon with the gear box, connected to the permanent magnet generator (PMG). The generated power from the PMG is passed through the AC/DC rectifier, and the DC/DC buck converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, to the battery bank, and to the DC/DC boost converter with DC/AC inverter to cater the consumer load. Detailed physical and simulation models of the different subsystems are presented. The paper presents the real measured results at TMFT, Singapore, and comparison of the real measured power output with the simulated results.
