Research on Laboratory Test Method of Wave Energy Converter Wave-Wire Conversion Ratio in Irregular Waves

The laboratory test of the wave energy converter model is an important means to evaluate performance device. At present, there are few tests for complete specifications under irregular wave. Referring methods and standards at home abroad, combined with actual work experience in laboratory, using power calculation formula effective height spectral peak period as parameters, then wave-wire conversion ratio method physical waves proposed. applied basin experiment horn-shaped backward bent duct buoy (BBDB) converter. research results show that established process have achieved good application test, can better reflect device operating characteristics real sea conditions. provide data support design next stage, demonstration prototype, prediction generation
