Abstract:

Taking the large ocean data buoy with 10 m diameter as research objects, the wave energy convertor adapted to its structural characteristics was analyzed, and the 10 m diameter buoy body’s FroudeKrylov and the rolling angle were calculated by means of numerical simulation. At the same time, the output power of the wave energy convertor was calculated, which could meet the charging voltage of the accumulator. Finally, this paper proposed a structural design scheme and a system integration project suitable for this kind of ocean data buoy, which provided an idea for the further research and development of the ocean data buoy wave energy convertor.

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