Wave Energy Prototype (WEP) Designs for Renewable Energy System
Energy crisis had been aware worldwide. Public transportation such as MRT became popular and internet community in 24 hours online could possible leads to insufficient electricity to the remote community. Electrical taarif of each country had gone through revised and consumer facing new cost of living. Nowadays, renewable energy had become popular research replacing fuel fossil and hydropower from lakes and river. Ocean’s wave is one of the natural resources as renewable energy for the country surrounded by sea. Peninsular Malaysia had it natural potential for wave’s energy esurrounded by South China Seas, Straits of Malacca and Straits of Tebrau. Through Hydraulic and Instrumentation Laboratory testing at National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM) undered program of hydraulic’s energy harvesting, initiative of innovation had been in progress studies in wave energy convertion from the surface of ocean water. Five design had been tested in order to see the performance of wave energy prototype (WEP) in generating electric. In this study, material and physial structural had been gone through scenarios of testing in order to determine the WEP possible performance factors. The overall physical design had been founded as a prime factors for the construction of WEP in order to dissipated more kinetics energy from the water wave and converting into electric. Real on site testing had overcome the significant findings that similar result of WEP performance. Studies found that WEP could possible dissipated energy from water wave producing Direct Current (DC) and possible to be convert into alternatives current (AC).

Abstract
Energy crisis had been aware worldwide. Public transportation such as MRT became popular and internet community in 24 hours online could possible leads to insufficient electricity to the remote community. Electrical taarif of each country had gone through revised and consumer facing new cost of living. Nowadays, renewable energy had become popular research replacing fuel fossil and hydropower from lakes and river. Ocean’s wave is one of the natural resources as renewable energy for the country surrounded by sea. Peninsular Malaysia had it natural potential for wave’s energy esurrounded by South China Seas, Straits of Malacca and Straits of Tebrau. Through Hydraulic and Instrumentation Laboratory testing at National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM) undered program of hydraulic’s energy harvesting, initiative of innovation had been in progress studies in wave energy convertion from the surface of ocean water. Five design had been tested in order to see the performance of wave energy prototype (WEP) in generating electric. In this study, material and physial structural had been gone through scenarios of testing in order to determine the WEP possible performance factors. The overall physical design had been founded as a prime factors for the construction of WEP in order to dissipated more kinetics energy from the water wave and converting into electric. Real on site testing had overcome the significant findings that similar result of WEP performance.
