Abstract
As a result of the exhaustion of fossil fuel, interest about renewable energy is increasing day by day. Inter alia, study for wave power energy of which the calculability is high and the available amount is abundant is going along actively. As a float-countweight wave energy converter is equivalent improved structural strength compared with oscillating body type. we made the wave only in order to up and down motion by setting up bulkhead which is called wave camber at the outside of float. This paper mainly focuses on generation amount of plural connected float-counterweight wave energy converter and we calculate the amount. The result, we confirmed that the more a numerical value of nl/L increases, the more amount of electricity rises and also when it is over nl/L=0.40, it is possible to get continuous generation. Through this study, we can use as basic data for design of wave chamber on advantageous condition at the real seas and by way of estimation for generation amount.
