Experimental Study for Wave Energy Convertor using Floating Light Buoy

摘要

In this paper,wave energy convertors which convert incident wave energy into electric power using floating light buoy are investigated.One-tenth models of a floating light buoy,straight line and seesaw type electric power plant are manufactured and tested in wave flume.In these systems,we measure the horizontal and vertical slope,generated current and power of buoy with different wave heights and periods.This was confirmed the capability of getting electric power,then we suggest further works to get more efficiency.
