Abstract:

Power supply is one of the key issues in ocean data buoy. We address the feasibility of wave energy convertor of ocean data buoy with buoy body as wave energy absorption system, gear and rack as power takeoff system and permanent magnet wind turbine and rectifier voltage regulator module as power output system, based on numerical simulation and the existing technical parameters of ocean data buoy. Analysis of calculation results shows that wave buoy body can satisfy installed capacity of 500 W threephase AC permanent magnet synchronous  generator if no damping. Generator output voltage of theoretical calculation can also meet the charging requirement of ocean data buoy battery of 14 V.

Key words: ocean data buoy, wave energy convertor, numerical simulation
