Abstract
Two types of turbines using pitch-controlled blades for wave energy conversion have been proposed so far. The paper shows the comparison of the performances of these turbines from the viewpoints of the starting and running characteristics. Experimental investigations have been performed by model testing of a turbine rotor with fixed blades under steady floe conditions. Then, the running and starting characteristics under irregular flow conditions have been obtained by a computer simulation using a quasi-steady analysis.
