Performance estimation of bi-directional turbines in wave energy plants

基于的波浪精力种的震荡的水列(OWC ) 为把灵魂力量变换成柄力量与双向汽轮机的几种类型被设计了。有连接指南翼和固定指南翼的推动汽轮机在印度波浪精力植物被测试了。这在有井鈥檚 汽轮机的起始的试验以后。与有一个线性抑制特征的井鈥檚 汽轮机相对照，推动汽轮机有非线性的抑制。这在全面精力变换有重要效果从向电线招手。优化波浪精力植物与在大量流动系数上的线性抑制和好效率要求一台汽轮机。这个工作描述如此的一个图案怎么能用固定指南翼推动汽轮机被做。印度波浪精力植物被用作案例研究。

Oscillating water column （OWC） based wave energy plants have been designed with several types of bidirectional turbines for converting pneumatic power to shaft power. Impulse turbines with linked guide vanes and fixed guide vanes have been tested at the Indian Wave Energy plant. This was after initial experimentation with Well＇s turbines. In contrast to the Well＇s turbine which has a linear damping characteristic, impulse turbines have non-linear damping. This has an important effect in the overall energy conversion from wave to wire. Optimizing the wave energy plant requires a turbine with linear damping and good efficiency over a broad range of flow coefficient. This work describes how such a design can be made using fixed guide vane impulse turbines. The Indian Wave Energy plant is used as a case study.
