Abstract
This study uses a numerical method to analyze the proposed model structure. Before the parametric analysis, a pre-analysis to make sure the analytical results are accountable, a verification analysis was performed. The results found are compared well with the limited experimental findings of Goda et al. and it is very encouraging to find that for the proposed method as an alternative for green energy developments, as long as an appropriate design is performed, an OWC combined with breakwater structure may provide an alternative for green energy system utilized in a harbor area. From the results of the first stage of parameter analysis that the size of the openings of the cell of converting system is variable, a traditional full opened cell is not necessary the most efficient design for the wave power conversion in terms of the variations of air pressure inside the cell and air speed through the outlet orifice that will drive the electricity power generator.

Taiwan is an island with limited energy resources but over expanding industrial development of high technology products, which causes intensive consuming requirement of electricity powers
Corresponding to the growth of the areas and numbers of industrial parks for high technology production and gradual retirement for out-of-age generators in the early built nuclear power plants, Taiwan has since faced a risk of random shortage of power supply, especially in summer seasons
Summary
Taiwan is an island with limited energy resources but over expanding industrial development of high technology products, which causes intensive consuming requirement of electricity powers. Corresponding to the growth of the areas and numbers of industrial parks for high technology production and gradual retirement for out-of-age generators in the early built nuclear power plants, Taiwan has since faced a risk of random shortage of power supply, especially in summer seasons. The only alternative left to make up for the deficiency of power supply now is green energy system. It becomes a policy for the government to encourage developments in the solar power and wind power electricity generation system. Even though wave power converting system is not a popular choice it has very good potential to play a supplemental role for the future development of green energy, especially for a remote island or villages close to coastal line
