Floating breakwater capable of being used as wave energy power generation device

Abstract

The invention provides a floating breakwater capable of being used as a wave energy power generation device. The floating breakwater comprises a floating breakwater, a power generation system and a mooring system, wherein the power generation system is arranged in the floating breakwater; the mooring system is connected with the bottom of the floating breakwater; a reinforcing baffle with a triangular section is arranged at the bottom of the floating breakwater. According to the floating breakwater, functions of the floating breakwater and the wave energy power generation device are combined;the reinforcing baffle with a special triangular bottom is arranged; the wave energy conversion efficiency and the wave-resisting performance of the device are improved; the action of the wave on thefloating breakwater is reduced; production and construction costs are reduced; the power generation system of the device is mounted in an oscillating floater, so that the power generation system is capable of effectively avoiding corrosion of seawater, and the reliability of the system is improved; the floating breakwater is arranged as an integrated structure, so that the floating breakwater canbe conveniently mounted and maintained on the sea and on the land; when the floating breakwater is used as a movable power generation device, the device can be used together with breakwaters and platforms and has broad application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a breakwater, in particular to a floating breakwater which can double as a wave energy generating device, and belongs to the technical field of wave energy power generation and breakwater engineering. Background technique [0002] Energy is the driving force for the development of human society. With the continuous development of human society, the rapid growth of human demand for energy has led to a sharp increase in the use of traditional fossil fuels, which has caused a series of serious ecological and environmental problems, and with the reduction of fossil fuel reserves, the energy crisis It has also become a serious problem, so it is urgent to find new renewable clean energy. Among many new energy sources, wave energy has become a research and development hotspot in various countries because of its large energy reserves, high energy density, and wide distribution. At the same time, floating breakwaters have been widely ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Most of the current research has the problem that the conversion efficiency and the construction cost of the device cannot be balanced. For example, the team of Dalian University of Technology has experimentally studied a floating breakwater (oscillating float) type wave energy conversion device and a vertical pile fixed floating breakwater. Combined with the hydrodynamic performance of the device, the float of the device is a square box. Although the processing and manufacturing is simple, its conversion efficiency is low, and the highest is only about 40%. The Berkeley-Wedge type device with high wave energy conversion efficiency and anti-wave performance has a conversion efficiency of over 90%, but the shape of the float is complex and difficult to manufacture
