波能转换装置的研究动态与一种新概念装置的探讨

Review of Wave Energy Convertors and A Novel Idea of Surface Absorber

介绍了波浪能,波能转换装置的基本原理和分类,简要回顾目前海洋工程界比较热门的几种形式的波能转换装置,例如振荡水柱(OWC)形式,浮子形式,帕拉米斯(Pelamis)以及其他形式的波能转换装置的发展历史,并且对它们的原理,目前的研究动态等进行了介绍。最后归纳和总结了目前波能转换装置的不足,并提出一种新概念的波能转换机构,希望能为波能吸收装置概念的拓宽提供一些有益的思路。

This paper gives a description of the wave energy and principles of wave energy convertor （WEC） and its types. A detail introduction to the highlighted WECs in ocean engineering field, such as OWC, floating type WEC, Pelamis and some other types of WEC, is also presented. The introduction focuses on history, principles and current research status of each kind of WEC respectively. In the end of the paper, a summary of the shortages of current wEcs is discussed and a novel idea of surface wave absorber is raised, expecting that it would help broaden the thought of WECs.
