Abstract

Movable body type wave energy converter system with counter-weight converts energy from heave motion of buoy to rotatory power. Measuring rotatory power is conducted to evaluate the energy conversion efficiency of wave energy converter, which is installed on 2-dimensional ocean generating basin with power take-off system composed torque sensor and brake.

At the same time, this study analyzes performance of energy conversion according to wave height and weight condition of both flywheel and counter-weight by changing load torque and wave period.

Therefore, this research is able to be useful basic material such as optimal design of movable body type wave energy converter and improving its energy conversion efficiency as well.
