Abstract
Wave energy is recognized as an important pollution-free source of power generation in the world. So in last decades wide variety of wave energy converters (WEC) has been developed, meanwhile, more economical and reliable technologies were also under process. It is very vital to decide about the location of the WECs in a wave farm, which can increase the electricity generation [1]. To get the optimum power output, it is necessary to evaluate the layout of WECs by computer simulations, such as SWAN, MIKE21, SWASH, etc [2]. Among them, MIKE21 is a professional modeling and simulation engineering software, and is well known as a tool that provides a design environment for engineering, coastal management and planning applications. So, in this paper, MIKE21 BW was introduced briefly and applied to simulate and calculate the wave parameters of the Chengshantou wave farm, then, the layout of a new-type (Water-filled raft) WECs in the Chengshantou wave farm which can generate higher possible power output was investigated and the optimum scheme was achieved finally.
