신재생에너지 중에서 풍력발전은 많은 연구가 진행되면서 상용화가 진행되었다. 하지만 파력발전은 세계적으로도 연구가 부족하고, 다양한 파력발전장치의 형태가 존재하면서 최적화에 대한 고민과 함께 아직 상용화에 접근하지 못하고 있다. 또한 풍력발전보다 더 많은 에너지 변환 단계가 존재하고, 파랑의 특성에 따른 입력 에너지가 급격하게 변화하기 때문에 파력발전용 PCS는 제어가 복잡하다. 본 논문에서는 파력발전장치의 각 단계의 실측 데이터를 기반으로 파랑의 특성을 반영한 에너지원의 모델링을 진행하고 이를 기반으로 파력발전용 PCS 제어특성 분석을 진행한다. 파력발전용 PCS는 백투백 컨버터(back to back converter)로 구성하고, PI 제어기 기반의 SVPWM을 사용한다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 기반으로 파력발전용 PCS 제어기 구성을 통한 향후 연구방향을 도출할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에선 해수압 진동을 이용한 파력발전 장치에 대해 소개한다. 본 파력발전장치는 5~10m의 수심에 설치되며 파고의 변화에 따른 수압의 진동을 이용해 전기를 생산한다. 수압의 진동은 파력발전 장치 내의 피스톤을 진동시키고 이 피스톤에 연결된 선형발전기(linear permanent magnet generator)를 진동시켜 전기를 생산한다.

Overtopping wave energy convertor is an offshore wave energy convertor for collecting the overtopping waves converting the water pressure head into electric power through the hydro turbines. This paper presents a numerical wave tank based on the commercial CFD code Fluent. The Reynolds Averaged Naiver-Stokes and VOF model is utilized to generate the 2D numerical linear propagating waves, which has been validated by the analytical solutions. Several incident wave conditions and shape parameters are calculated in the optimal designing investigation of the overtopping characteristics and discharge for the overtopping wave energy convertor.

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.

In this study, the extraction efficiency and reflection coefficient by a two-dimensional OWC (Oscillating Water Column) WEC (wave energy converter) installed in front of a seawall was investigated for regular/irregular waves. The matched eigenfunction expansion method (MEEM) based on the linear potential theory was applied as an analytical tool. The diffraction problem by the incident wave in the open-chamber and the radiation problem by the oscillating pressure in the closed-chamber were solved to obtain the volume fluxes at the internal free-surface. Applying the volume fluxes into the continuity equation for the airflow in a chamber, we got the oscillating air pressure. The maximum extracted power and corresponding reflection coefficient were determined at the optimal turbine coefficient that maximizes the extracted power. OWC device designed for a high extracted efficiency simultaneously contributes to reduce reflected waves.

In this paper, wave energy absorption of OWC(oscillating water column) device is analyzed. The analytic model consists of a partially immersed circular vertical cylinder open at its end and an air turbine connected with the air chamber. The boundary value problem is decomposed into scattering problem related to scattering by an incident wave in the absence of a pressure variation and radiation problem describing the flow due to an oscillating pressure in the absence of an incident wave. By invoking the continuity of an air flow inside the chamber, the oscillating pressure in a chamber is derived. With oscillating pressure, the mean power absorbed by OWC device and the capture width are obtained. In numerical calculation, the induced volume flux across the internal free surface of the chamber in the scattering and radiation problem and the maximum capture width are compared with various design parameters such as radius and submergence depth of chamber and wave conditions. The maximum capture width obtained by choosing the optimal value of turbine constant occurs at the first resonant mode (Helmholtz mode) among the natural frequencies of a circular cylinder chamber.

An OWC-type Wave Energy Conversion passes through 3 steps energy conversion process. This paper deal with the internal oscillating flow and effect of shape of air chamber and duct at setting place of turbine by numerical analysis using commercial CFD code, FLUENT. Air chamber and duct in OWC-type wave energy conversion are adopting sudden expanded and contracted form for high-efficiency. So, whole oscillating flow from OWC-type chamber to outlet duct through duct was solved by steady and unsteady analysis in order that flow efficiency of air chamber and duct was made better.
