SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY IN THE PROCESS OF WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION

Abstract

This article introduces the operating principle of the wave energy device and makes AMEsim simulated analysis in the influence of the amplitude and period of the wave on the output efficient. By using the result of the simulation to optimize design, the article puts forwards a kind of suitable control technology which based on the disclosed amplitude and period of the wave to control the check valve, invoking the motor in different levels of efficiency. This kind of technology aims to solve the problem which includes low efficiency and high start wave of the wave energy device. The result is verified by the physical experiment, which lays the foundation for the implementation of marine engineering. The established methods of simulation model and analysis results are expected to be useful to designing and manufacturing of wave energy converter.
