Abstract
We developed a new wave power generation system installed in a slit type breakwater. This system has great advantage since it never influences shipping or fishing owing to no occupation of sea surface. In this system, accelerated flow from the slit of the breakwater drives single or double mounted waterwheels. In this study, the output power of Savonius, paddle, crossflow waterwheels was measured using a 1/12 scale model. Optimal mounting configuration of the waterwheels was also examined. Experimental results indicated that a single mounted crossflow waterwheel was the best selection in respect of system output and achieved maximum output power when its diameter is 1.4 times larger than slit width.
