  • Sheng, Wanan

Abstract

This research presents the power performance of the backward-bent duct buoy (BBDB) oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters (WECs). To achieve that, following steps are detailed: firstly, power conversion from wave power into pneumatic power by coupling the hydrodynamics and the thermodynamics in the air chamber using a linear air turbine power take-off (PTO), with the calculation of the power response curves for the BBDB OWC device in regular waves; secondly, using the power response curve, a power performance curve is then calculated for irregular waves; thirdly, the power matrices for the device is calculated and the determination of the rated power for the device to meet the target capture factor; and finally, the annual energy production will be assessed as the final indicator for the device's power performance.
