This report presents the results on the modeling and optimization the systems of two buoys for wave energy converter. The first is a floater. The second is a semi-submerged body. The energy is converted from the relative motion between the two buoys by the linear generator. For simulation in three dimensions, the system of equations (6 modes of motions) has been obtained. The governing equations are solved by ANSYS AQWA software and Matlab tools. |
