Abstract

Recently, many studies about the wave power generation system for the marine structure as the hybrid form in linked with the original features have been made of. Of these, the wave power generation system using oscillating water column(OWC) has function to convert wave energy to electrical energy with original function of the break water structure. In this type of generation system, it is important to make the flow of sea water as much as possible without loss. Output characteristics of wave power generation system depending on entrance section were described in the paper. Also, flow quantity changing with entrance section, velocity of sea water and output of wells turbine were measured by simulating OWC wells turbine model in break water, one of the general marine structure. Finally, entrance section was suggested to enhance the energy conversion efficiency based on the results of simulation.

최근 해양시설물용 파력발전시스템은 본래 기능과 연계한 하이브리드 형태로 많은 연구개발이 이루어지고 있다. 이 중 방파제에 설계된 진동 수주형 파력발전시스템의 경우, 기존의 방파제의 기능에 더불어 터빈을 통해 파랑에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 발전기능을 갖는다. 이러한 형태의 발전 시스템은 해수를 손실 없이 최대한 많이 유입되도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 유입구 형상에 따른 파력발전시스템의 출력 특성에 대해 기술하였다. 또한 일반적인 해양 구조물인 방파제에 부착된 진동수주형 웰즈터빈 모델을 시뮬레이션 하여 유입구 곡면 각도에 따라 변화하는 유입량과 해수속도 그리고 그에 따른 웰즈터빈의 출력을 측정하였다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 하여 에너지 변환 효율을 높이기 위한 유입구 형상을 제안하였다.
