Abstract
Wave energy is a kind of clean energy that is rich in reserves and has not been exploited on a large scale. The slope-pendulum wave energy conversion (S-PWEC) device has been optimized in structure and its capture efficiency has been increased. Taking the selection of the Zhejiang sea area as the research background, this paper performs numerical simulation and array WEC experimental testing of S-PWEC under 66 major sea conditions. The experimental results show that S-PWEC adds a slope structure to the bottom, which can effectively improve the motion response ability and resistance to extreme sea conditions. In the regular wave and irregular wave tests, the electron power output efficiency can be increased by 13.24% and 10.06%, respectively; in the array WEC experiment, the diffraction effect and radiation effect will affect the work of the array WEC, and the optimal arrangement distance can be selected to maximize the power output of the WEC system.
