波浪能发电系统浮板的优化设计

本文针对波浪能发电系统设计中浮板能量转换效率低的问题,基于海南省某地现有波浪能发电实验站的波浪能采集装置,采用Fluent软件进行建模仿真的方法对其进行优化设计,提出了一种优化摆式浮板的设计方案。通过比较原浮板和优化浮板在吸收波浪水平方向动能的能力、能量损耗、浮板积水问题等方面的差异,研究结果表明这种优化的摆式浮板成功实现浮板在收集波浪水平动能能力上的提升,并且解决浮板积水问题,减小能量损耗,从而提高了浮板能量转换效率。

Study on optimal design of floating plate for wave energy generation system

This paper proposes a design method of optimizing an existing tilted floating plate to raise its efficiency in generating power. Modeling of both original floating plate and optimized floating plate has been developed to compare the differences in the aspects of energy dissipation and wave energy absorption capacity in the horizontal direction. The results of simulation show that the design method has improved the ability of collecting wave horizontal kinetic energy and raised the conversion efficiency of the floating plate and reduced energy loss, thus improved the wave energy conversion efficiency.
