Study on a New Array of Oscillating Wave Energy Converter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents a new array of oscillating wave energy converter, which is in accordance with nowadays’ research tendency of China: high power, high efficiency, high reliability and low cost. The paper gives the design scheme and design parameters of the new wave energy converter. It's composed of the wave energy converter unit, which can be assembled to arrays based on demand. Besides, the paper analyzes the power generation principle and advantages of the device. The research results could be a reference for wave energy’s exploration and utilization.
