Abstract
A new wave power generation system is proposed. Although existing wave power generation systems construct or float their facilities on sea, occupation of sea surface is restricted severely in Japan because of safety ensuring of ship course and securement of fishing grounds. To eliminate this problem, a new wave generation system has been developed. The system includes its facility inside a type of breakwater that is growing popular lately. The breakwater has water chambers for vanishing waves and water flow in/out to the chamber through the slits. The vortex produced behind the slits decay wave motion. In proposed system, a Savonius water mill was located behind the slits and was driven by reciprocating water flow. The generation power in this system was measured using a 1/12 scale model and practical realization of this system was proved by the measurement.
