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

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ocean wave energy is one kind of potential renewable energy, and the devices of using wave energy generate power are varied. 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 directly. 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 designed the 3D modeling of the floating wave power device through SolidWorks software, and produced the wave turbine on proportion of 1:1. We had tested the wave turbine in the pool of the laboratory and obtain the torque and power under certain conditions.
