DYNAMIC MODELING OF WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM USING HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION

Abstract

This paper will design a wave energy conversion model using hydrostatic transmission. Then, the optimal radius of the buoy is obtained so that wave energy capture ability of the system is maximum. In this study, the data of the wave in the Ocean such as: wave length, wave period, wave high are known.
Next, Amesim and Matlab software are used for the simulation of the proposed system. The simulation results confirm that in the case of optimal buoy radius, the energy capture effectiveness of the system is better than that in the case of the random buoy radius. Finally, some conclusions are also given.
