The invention relates to a double-air-chamber OWC wave energy
structure based on artificial island steel cylinders, and belongs to the technical field of ocean wave energy utilization. The structure comprises adjacent steel cylinders and wave energy units embedded between the steel cylinders; the wave energy unit is provided with an
air chamber body, the interior of the
air chamber body is divided into a first
air chamber and a second air chamber which are sequentially arranged in the
wave propagation direction through a partition wall, the first air chamber is located on the outer side, and the second air chamber is located on the inner side. The second air chamber horizontally extends from one side of the first air chamber and is communicated to the water inlet. According to the structure, the wave energy units are integrated in the
assembly spaces between the adjacent steel cylinders, seamless fusion with the artificial island body is achieved, and space and cost are saved; due to the fact that a flow channel of the second air chamber is longer,
inertia is larger, the hydraulic path is effectively prolonged, and long-period
waves are stably responded. The first air chamber is close to the water inlet, response is rapid, and short-period
waves are efficiently captured. The double air chambers cooperate to achieve frequency division utilization of
broadband wave energy, and the conversion efficiency and the power generation stability are remarkably improved.
