海洋能能量转换计算及微观场址布局方法简述

Overview of the Marine Energy Conversion Calculation and Micro Site Layout Method

地球表面积的71%是海洋,巨大的海洋能储量为开发利用海洋能资源提供了优良条件,海洋能发电作为海洋能开发利用的主要方式备受关注,海洋能能量转换及微观场址布局直接关系电站的运行效益,国内外众多专家、学者进行了多年的研究和探索,但目前尚未形成公认的、较成熟的评估方法。通过对国内外已有研究成果的总结归纳,介绍了波浪能、潮流能能量转换计算软件的使用对象、计算原理及功能,概述了微观场址布局方面国内外已有的计算方法和相应原理等,为今后海洋能开发利用研究提供一些思路和参考。

The oceans cover approximately 71% of the planet＇s surface, and huge reserves of marine energies provide excellent conditions for the exploitation and utilization of marine energy resources. As the mainstay of marine energy development, ocean power generation has become a hotspot of concern. Marine energy conversion and micro site layout directly affect the operational efficiency of power stations. Therefore, numerous specialists and scholars in China and overseas have conducted research and exploration for years, yet no mature and com monly-acknowledged assessment method has taken shape so far. Through summarizing existing research findings across the world, this paper introduces the application object, computational principles and functions of energy conversion calculation softwares, including those for wave power and tidal current power, as well as probes into the existing calculation methods and corresponding principles in the aspect of micro site layout at home and abroad, in order to provide some ideas and references for future studies on the development and utilization of marine energies.
