Abstract

To reduce the mechanical energy loss and to get the high energy efficiency, an apparatus of wave power generation inducing a consistent one way rotating motion from the wave reciprocation motions was developed and the hydraulic experiments for the real electric power production were conducted and the results were discussed. In the experiments for the shape of the buoyant tank, the efficiency of the fixed 9 cm diameter type enduring the wave plate weight was 14.6% and this was the best result for all shapes. But although the free sliding type was expected to represent a high efficiency, the experiments did not show a good result as 8.5% efficiency. Therefore, the shape of buoyant tank was decided as the fixed 9 cm diameter type in the next all tests. In the experiments for the various incident waves, when the water depth was 90 cm, the average efficiencies were measured as 3.9% in the 2nd gear, 4.9% in the 3rd gear, 4.9% in the 4th gear, 12.0% in the 5th gear, 10.0% in the 6th gear, 3.1% in the 7th gear, and 3.0% in the 8th gear. Also, when the water depth was 80 cm, the average efficiency was shown as 15.0% with 5th gear condition. Therefore the high average efficiency as 13.5% was given with 80~90 cm water depth and the 5th gear in the model.

파의 왕복운동을 지속적인 일방향 회전운동으로 유도하여 발전기의 가동에 있어 기계적인 손실 에너지를 감소시켜 발전효율을 극대화시킬 수 있는 파의 수평왕복운동을 직접 이용하는 가동물체형 파력발전장치가 개발되었다. 그리고 실제 전력생산에 관한 수리실험이 수행되었고 그 결과가 토의되었다. 수리실험에서 부력 탱크의 형상에 따른 발전장치의 발전효율은 파력판의 무게를 충분히 지탱하는 직경 9 cm의 고정식 부력 탱크가 평균발전효율 14.6%로 좋은 결과를 보였으며 효율이 좋을 것으로 기대되었던 부력 탱크가 자유로이 승강하는 경우는 발전효율이 8.5%로 좋지 못한 결과를 보였다. 그리고 여러 파랑조건에 따른 직경 9 cm의 고정식 부력 탱크형 발전모형의 평균발전 효율이 수심 90 cm에서 기어비 2단 3.9%, 3단 4.9%, 4단 4.9%, 5단 12%, 6단 10.0%, 7단 3.1%, 그리고 8단 3.0%를 나타냈으며, 수심 80 cm의 기어비 5단에서 15%의 발전효율이 계측되었다. 따라서 이 파력발전장치는 수심 80~90 cm의 기어비 5단에서 비교적 높은 13.5%의 평균발전효율을 얻을 수 있었다.
