Abstract
The laboratory test of the wave energy converter model is an important means to evaluate the performance of the device. At present, there are few performance tests for complete specifications under the irregular wave. Referring to the test methods and standards at home and abroad, combined with the actual test work experience in the laboratory, using the irregular wave power calculation formula with the effective wave height and the spectral peak period as parameters, then the wave-wire conversion ratio test method of the wave energy converter physical model under irregular waves in the laboratory is proposed. The method is applied to the basin test experiment of the physical model of the horn-shaped backward bent duct buoy (BBDB) wave energy converter. The research results show that the established test method and process of wave-wire conversion performance have achieved good application results in the irregular waves laboratory test, and can better reflect the device operating characteristics in real sea conditions. The test results provide data support for the model design of the wave energy converter in the next test stage, the demonstration test of the prototype, and the prediction of power generation in real sea conditions.
