Volume 149, Issue 2
Abstract
In order to realize the utilization of wave energy on ships, this study proposes a wave energy utilization system mounted on ships. The wave energy utilization system can transform wave energy into electric energy. The working principle and installation mode of the system are introduced in detail, and the motion model of the system on the ship is established. The motion equation of the system is solved by the Newmark-β method, and the influence of different slider masses (150–500 kg) and different radius of sliding rail (7–15 m) on the energy recovery performance of the system is studied. The data simulation shows that under a certain radius of the sliding rail, there is a slider mass that makes the system achieve the best energy collection effect. With the increase of the radius of the sliding rail, the slider mass corresponding to the best energy recovery performance of the system also increases. In addition, the energy recovery performance of the system under actual sea conditions is simulated, and the research shows that the system can continuously output power.
