The application discloses a wave energy generating
buoy capable of adjusting air
turbine flow and a control method thereof. The
buoy comprises an air
turbine, a
cam rotary disc, a driving gear, a driven gear, a
servo motor, a driven shaft and a rigid
buoy. An
air chamber and a cavity are arranged in the rigid buoy, and an air
pressure sensor and a
liquid level sensor are arranged in the
air chamber. The
cam rotary disc is rotatably arranged between an air outlet and the air
turbine, and is driven to rotate by the
servo motor and a gear pair, so that the effective flow area of the air outlet is steplessly adjusted. The control method is based on the real-time collected
air chamber pressure and liquid level change rate, calculates the optimal air
chamber pressure corresponding to the optimal efficiency of the turbine, establishes the mapping relationship between the flow area and the pressure, and corrects the
cam rotation angle in real time through PID
closed loop control, so that the air
chamber pressure dynamically tracks the optimal value. The application can optimize the wave energy capturing efficiency and the power generation power, widen the wave working condition
adaptation range, and effectively prevent the turbine from being damaged by high-pressure air flow
impact.
