Abstract

In this study, the extraction efficiency and reflection coefficient by a two-dimensional OWC (Oscillating Water Column) WEC (wave energy converter) installed in front of a seawall was investigated for regular/irregular waves. The matched eigenfunction expansion method (MEEM) based on the linear potential theory was applied as an analytical tool. The diffraction problem by the incident wave in the open-chamber and the radiation problem by the oscillating pressure in the closed-chamber were solved to obtain the volume fluxes at the internal free-surface. Applying the volume fluxes into the continuity equation for the airflow in a chamber, we got the oscillating air pressure. The maximum extracted power and corresponding reflection coefficient were determined at the optimal turbine coefficient that maximizes the extracted power. OWC device designed for a high extracted efficiency simultaneously contributes to reduce reflected waves.

본 연구에서는 직립 안벽 앞에 설치된 2차원 진동수주형 파력발전장치의 추출효율과 반사율을 규칙파와 불규칙파에 대하여 살펴보고 둘 사이의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 해석이론으로 선형포텐셜 이론에 기반을 둔 고유함수전개법을 사용하였다. 공기실이 완전 개방되었을 때 입사파에 의한 산란문제와 공기실이 닫혀 있을 때 공기실내의 변동압력에 의한 파의 방사문제를 풀어 공기실 내부의 유량을 구하고, 이를 공기실내의 공기 흐름에 대한 연속방정식에 대입하여 변동압력을 구한다. 추출파워가 최대가 되는 최적 터빈계수를 적용하여 진동수주형 파력발전장치의 최대 추출효율과 반사율을 규칙파와 불규칙파에 대하여 구하였다. 파랑에너지를 효율적으로 흡수하도록 설계된 진동수주형 파력발전장치는 동시에 반사파를 줄이는데 기여하였다.
