Abstract
It is a study for practical use of wave power generation device, which is one of the marine renewable energy. In order to full-scale wave power generation business, it is necessary to proper environmental impact assessment. Although environmental assessment can be evaluated by predicting the wave changes around the device area, in the existing model is not appropriate for the evaluation of the actual sea since it is assumed that the conditions of regular waves. Therefore, we have that to build a predictive model of wave changes in irregular waves you intended to accurately assess the environmental impact necessary in this study as the main goal. In this paper, the loss such as eddy and air bubbles that incident wave under the device by hydraulic experiment occurs when it passes through the extent to which effect has been compiled to investigate whether or not there with respect to the incident wave energy using a two-dimensional wave-making water tank. We have focused on the power generation unit of violent wave conditions can be placed on the high offshore resistant to a floating oscillating water column (OWC) type by the typhoon passes.
