碟形越浪式波能发电装置是一种新型的波能发电装置,其利用蓄水池将不稳定的入射波能转换为稳定的淹没出流动能,势能转换为动能带动水轮机运转实现发电。该装置具有输出功率平稳、适应各种海况、可靠度好的的特点,对其进行深入研究,对于边远海域的岛屿经济开发、国防及海水淡化等具有十分重要的意义。
Saucer-like wave energy converter is a new type of wave energy converter. It can collect the overtopping waves and convert the water pressure head into electric power through the hydro turbines installed in the vertical duct fixed on the sea bed. It has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, excellent adaptability and good stability. It is of great significance for further studies of saucer-like wave energy converter and for the economic development of outlying islands, the defense constructions and the seawater desalination.
