Analysis of Resonance Efficiency According to Length and Entrance Depth of Channel Resonance Part of Multi-Resonance Wave Energy Converter

Multi-resonance wave energy converter can generate efficient power generation by complexly utilizing the resonance phenomenon of waves even when waves propagate normally. As the wave is amplified by resonance, the power generation efficiency of the multi-resonance wave energy converter increases, and the shape of the resonance part needs to be optimized to maximize power generation efficiency. The multi-resonance wave energy converter amplifies waves in the seiche resonance part and the channel resonance part. In this study, CFD numerical experiments were performed under various conditions such as the length and location of the channel resonance part to analyze the sensitivity for each condition and derve the optimal shape of the channel resonance part.
