Research on Small Wave Power Generation Device and Key Technology

Abstract

As a new type of clean energy, wave energy occupies an important position in the development of marine energy in recent years. And as an important tool for wave energy development, wave power generation devices have attracted the attention of various countries. Through the statistical analysis of the global wave energy distribution, it can be seen that the coastal wave energy reserves in European and China are extremely rich, which has promoted the rapid development of wave energy power generation devices. This article expounds the basic principles of wave power generation, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of all kinds wave generation devices, which shows that the current wave power generation devices mainly have defects such as low structural strength, poor system reliability, low power generation efficiency and poor material corrosion resistance. In order to meet the needs of high reliability, high power generation efficiency and low development cost of wave power generation devices, it is necessary to break through key technologies such as material strength, corrosion resistance and power generation efficiency in the future, so as to obtain new wave power generation devices with excellent performance.
