EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ENERGY CONVERSION OF INTEGRATED SYSTEM WITH WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER AND BREAKWATER
The power generation and wave attenuation performance and the motion response of the box-type wave energy converter-breakwater integrated system are studied by physical model test,and compared with those of the isolated wave energy converter and the single floating breakwater.The impacts of the incident wave height on the power generation and wave attenuation performance of the integrated system are analyzed.Results show that the power generation performance of the integrated system is better than that of the isolated WEC float,and the wave attenuation performance is better than that of the single breakwater.The surge and pitch motion amplitudes of the breakwater for integrated system are smaller than those of single breakwater,but the heave motion response is larger.When the incident wave height increases,the power generation performance of the integrated system is improved while the wave attenuation performance decreases,and the motion response of the breakwater increases.
