Design and Optimisation of High Efficiency Energy Conversion Device Based on GTF Star Gear Transmission System
Currently,energy conversion devices are facing problems such as large energy transfer loss and low conversion efficiency.In view of the above reasons,a star gear transmission system optimisation method is proposed to improve the energy output efficiency of the oscillating float wave energy conversion device.The method optimises the structure of the transmission system by using a rigid-flexible coupling model,and also applies the optimised transmission system to the improvement of the oscillating float wave energy converter.Finally,the numerical simulation of the optimised oscillating float wave energy converter shows that the energy captured per unit time of the improved palm finger reaches 43.291 kW,which is significantly higher than the energy converted before the improvement,and the average energy loss rate of the transmission system is also calculated to be reduced by 0.67%.From the above experimental results,it is clear that the improvement scheme proposed by the study is feasible.
