Study on Collection Efficiency of Buoy in Wave Power Generation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Efficiency is a crucial target in wave power generation. Collection efficiency is the first part in the whole power generation proceeding, which is particularly important. In this paper, six buoys with different radius and different height are selected to look for rational structure for higher efficiency. Force, velocity, absorbed energy and motion tendency are analyzed using simulation. The characteristics on the collection efficiency of buoy have been gotten.
