Abstract

In this paper, an ocean wave energy conversion system (OWECS) is modeled and experimented in the Yellow Sea near Lianyungang port, and an optimized control method based on the sliding mode control is proposed to improve the efficiency of OWECS. Firstly, a motion model of a double-buoy OWECS is presented using a complex representation method, and the analysis results indicate that the efficiency of converting ocean wave energy into the outer buoy’s mechanical power is highest in a suitable ocean wave period. Secondly, a double-buoy OWECS is constructed and experimented in the Yellow Sea near Lianyungang port, which verified the correctness of the above analysis results. Lastly, in order to further improve the efficiency of the double-buoy OWECS, a sliding mode control method based on a linear generator is proposed to realize the phase synchronization between the outer buoy and ocean waves, and the simulation results may be beneficial for the next ocean test of the double-buoy OWECS.
