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.

This study considered the reduction of the detent force of a permanent magnet linear synchronous generator (PMLSG). The PMLSG has a relatively large magnetic air gap. Thus, a slotted type of stator structure is generally employed. Furthermore, the detent force, which is caused by energy imbalances owing to the interaction between tooth-slot structures and the permanent magnets (PMs), must be minimized for start-up operation. Therefore, in this paper, the methods of auxiliary teeth and a notch in the teeth are applied to reduce the detent force.

This paper is investigated to variation of wave power generation operation rate, operating capacity and output with the wave conditions represented by wave height-period window. By the use of the long-term wave data from 1979 to 2002 which is provided by Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute(KORDI), we calculated the monthly variation of significant wave height(Hs), zero-up crossing period(Tz) and distribution of wave appearance rate. And using the same wave data, it was charted the Hs-Tz and wave-energy scatter diagrams.

Dye to recent development such as increasing price of fossil fuels and energy offers such a solution. Wave energy supplies. Weve energy offers such a solution. Wave energy is the most consistent of all the intermittent renewable energy sources. In addition to this, very large energy fluxes occur in the ocean waves and by using appropriate wave energy converters the energy can be harnessed. The present study looks at utilizing a direct drive turbine of cross flow type to extract energy from ocean waves indirectly. This novel design incorporates a turbine in an enclosed in a closed tank. utilizing the energy generated from sloshing.

In the past, the use of wave energy has mainly been focused on conversion of large wave energy resources in the far offshore areas. However, with the technological improvement of converting wave energy into electricity, the energy resources at much shallow waters are now considered as a site for possible installation of the devices that obtain energy from the waves. In this respect, the wave energy resources on the east coast of Korea, where the sea is milder than the open ocean, were investigated using the field measurement data obtained at three different locations along the coast. For all the locations, the wave power was greater in winter season, compared to summer season. The estimated wave power varied from 2 to 4.5 kW/m on average, depending on the measurement locations.

This paper describes an electrical linear generator (IntELG) based on permanent magnets, containing heaving buoy, and its applications for the floating wave energy converters riding in parallel waves. The permanent magnets are integrated with the heaving buoy as a component and the integrated component is configured within the cylindrical IntELG to be filled with fluid. Thus, the IntELG can effectively be applied for the power-take-off of the floating wave energy converter riding in parallel waves. Typical applications are exampled with the Pelamis and Anaconda and they are investigated for the diversely redundant power source of nuclear power plant and the cooperation with submerged tunnel(s).

우리나라 남${\codt}$서해안선의 총 연장은 5,000천에 달하며 크고 작은 섬들만도 2,000여개가 산재하고 있다. 여기에 밀려드는 조석 및 파력에너지의 포장량은 전력으로 환산하여 줄잡아 $10^{8}KW$ Order의 ''이론적 포장에너지량''이 부존하고 있다고 생각된다. 수력의 경우 구주각국이나 일본에 있어서는 ''기술적 포장수력''의 $25{\~}50{\%}$가 ''기술적 포장수력''으로, 그리고 $10{\~}20{\%}$가 ''경제적 포장수력''이라는 통계치가 나와 있다. 조력의 경우 이와같은 수치를 그대로 적용할 수는 없겠지만, 수천만kw Order의 기술적 또는 경제적 포장능력이 우리나라 남서해안에 부존할 수 있음에 수긍이 간다. 이론적으로 포장량을 기술적 포장량으로 바꾸고 이를 다시 실현성있는 경제적 포장량화하는 원동력은 인간의 지혜 곧 ''기술''과 역사의 흐름 곧 ''시운''에 좌우된다고 하겠다. 정부는 국내 부존에너지자원의 활용 극대화를 위하여 ‘74년도 우리나라 서해안의 조력발전기초조사를 과학기술처 산하 ${\ulcorner}$한국해양개발연구소${\lrcorner}$를 중심으로 하여 실시하게 된다. 국내 관계기관 및 전문가들의 적극적 참여와 협조를 바란다.

This study performed an assessment of wave power potential in the Kangwon and Dongnam regions encompassing the East Sea and part of South Sea. Annual electricity production and economic effects of 28 wave energy converters with 750kW capacity were analyzed using significant wave height and peak wave period data(created from the NOAA's NWW3 model) and InVEST software(developed by Stanford University and University of Minnesota). Annual electricity production was estimated to be up to 1,207MWh/year and at least 163MWh/year. The spatial pattern of annual electricity production showed that the sea far from land has higher wave power potential than the sea near coast. The net present value(NPV) of 28 wave energy converters was calculated by considering an operation period of 25 years. When assuming that the electricity produced from wave energy converters is transferred to onshore power plants through underwater cables, the NPV was estimated to be up to 5,883USD(6,600,000KRW) and at least -63,494USD(-71,000,000KRW). In contrast, the NPV increased up to 28,095 USD(31,600,000KRW) when assuming that the electricity is utilized in the Ulleungdo and Dokdo. In addition, it was found that the break-even line of NPV in the East Sea becomes closer towards the land according to the increment of electricity price. The NPV of wave energy converters near the Ulleungdo and Dokdo will be 88,158 USD(99,000,000KRW) if the increment of electricity price is 100KRW.
