Abstract
This presentation describes the design, manufacturing and testing of an inflatable Dielectric Elastomer Generators (DEGs) with a stadium shape that is intended to be used as integrated prime-mover and power-take-off system of a submerged-membrane pressure-differential Ocean Wave Energy Converter (OWEC). Results highlight the good performances of the developed stadium-shape DEG and its potentialities within the considered OWEC.
