Research on Power Control Method of Oscillating Float Type Ocean Wave Energy Power Generation

Abstract

Abstract With the development of the economy, human beings’ over-utilization and dependence on traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, and natural gas have gradually triggered a global energy crisis. Therefore, the use of renewable energy has received great attention from people, and the ocean that accounts for the total area of the earth has first come into the sight of developers. Wave energy has the advantages of wide distribution, large reserves, and diverse acquisition methods, and has become one of the most promising marine energy sources. However, the research on wave energy is currently in its initial stage and its development is relatively lagging. It is a renewable energy with great potential in order to increase the power generation of wave power systems. This article first introduces the current distribution of wave energy and outlines the principle of wave power generation. In view of the calculation method of wave force and the shortcomings of the current floating-type power generation system, a new type of oscillating floating-type wave power generating device is designed, which can realize the maximum power tracking control to a certain extent.
