Research and Development of Multi Section Floating Mechanical Wave Energy Power Generation Device

Abstract

In order to study the principle of wave power generation, a multi section floating mechanical wave energy power generation device and a rectifier voltage regulator circuit are designed. The device consists of multi cylinder buoys, direction changing and speed-up mechanism, generator, rectifier voltage regulator circuit and other components. According to the certain regulation of wave movement, the structure and parameters of the wave energy capture device are designed; based on the movement characteristics of wave energy capture device, the direction changing and speed-up mechanism is designed, including crank-rocker mechanism and gear mechanism. The rectifier voltage regulator circuit is designed by the law of generator output. The experiment research shows that the efficiency of wave energy power generation device is up to 45.8% under the condition of prescribed test wave.
