Design of 3D Modeling for the New Wave Power Generation Device and Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ocean wave energy is one kind of potential renewable energy that its energy density is far greater than solar energy or wind energy. This paper put forward a new method of using wave turbine to absorb wave energy, then output mechanical energy through mechanical drivers to generator, finally convert to electric energy by generator. Generally, structure design of the wave-wing is very important to the device. It is the important component of the device for absorbing wave energy. For this study, we design the 3D modeling of the new wave power device through SolidWorks software, and generate the wave turbine on proportion of 1:1. We have tested the wave turbine in the pool of the laboratory and obtain the torque and power under certain conditions.
