Abstract

The parametric study was performed for performance enhancement of wave energy converter(WEC) using a submerged pendulum plate. The wave exciting moment and hydrodynamic moment were obtained by means of eigenfunction expansion method based on the linear potential theory, and then the roll response of a pendulum plate and time averaged extracted power were investigated. The optimal PTO damping coefficient was suggested to give optimal extracted power. The peak value of optimal extracted power occurs at the resonant frequency. The resonant peak and it's width increase, as the height and thickness of a pendulum plate increase. The mooring line installed at the end of the pendulum plate is effective for extracting wave energy because it can not only induce the resonance with the waves of the installation site but also increase the restoring moment in case of PTO-on. The WEC using a rolling pendulum plate suitable for the shallow water acts as breakwater as well as energy extraction device.

본 연구에서는 몰수형 진자판을 이용한 파력발전장치의 성능 향상을 위한 파라메트릭 해석을 수행하였다. 선형포텐셜 이론에 기반을 둔 고유함수전개법을 사용하여 파기진 모멘트와 동유체 모멘트를 구하고, 파랑중 진자판의 회전운동 변위와 시간평균 추출파워를 구하였다. 이때 추출파워의 최대값을 주는 최적의 PTO감쇠계수를 제시하였다. 회전 운동하는 진자판으로부터 얻는 추출파워의 최대값은 시스템의 공진주파수에서 일어나며 진자판의 높이와 두께가 증가할수록 최대값은 증가하고 공진폭이 확장된다. 진자판 끝단에 설치된 계류로프는 부하상태에서 복원모멘트를 높이고 설치해역의 파랑과 공진이 유발하는데 활용된다. 천수역에 적합한 몰수형 진자판을 이용한 파력발전장치는 에너지 추출과 동시에 파를 차단하는 방파제의 기능을 동시에 지니고 있다.
