Abstract

In order to solve the problem of energy shortage and focus on the development of wave energy, a jack-up platform is used as the carrier, and a new type of wave energy power generation device is designed. Compared with other power generation devices, this new type of jack-up wave energy power generation device owns the advantage of wind and wave resistance, is continuous, highly efficient, stable, and strongly adaptable. By means of combination of theoretical analysis and physical test, the feasibility of the device implementation of wave power is explored. The results showed that the jack-up wave energy power generation device can normally work in the sea state, which verified the feasibility of the device. This device has achieved wave power efficiency by more than 15% of the technical indicators of the project and the desired effect. In general, the jack-up wave energy power generation device has achieved breakthrough in many aspects, and the overall technology has reached the leading domestic level.
