Design of Duck Wave Power Generation Device Based on Wave Energy

Abstract

The study of wave power generation is more and more popular in modern science and technology for the new renewable energy, in recent years. Designing wave power generation devices with high conversion efficiency and stability, and improving the technical level for commercialization are both scientifically interesting and potentially useful. Here we achieve the stability of wave generation equipment by establishing one nodding duck energy conversion system in a wave tank. Equipped with ultrasonic distance sensor, combining screw slide and stepper motor as draft self-regulation feedback system, our device is always in the best working performance under the single-chip microcomputer STM32 auto-measuring system. The good conversion efficiency performance can be 43%. The ARDUINO module and the Labview host computer interface are equipped to real-time visualize and characterize the parameters of the device and calculate the optimal power generation efficiency. Our designed device can resist damage validly with high conversion efficiency and stability.
