2019年3月1日 · An investigation on the power performance for the RM6 BBDB oscillating water column wave energy converter has been systematically carried out, with the examinations for the initial optimisations of the RM6 device in the open Atlantic wave …

identified, and a detailed backward bent duct buoy (BBDB) device design was developed using a combination of numerical modeling tools and scaled physical models.

2014年9月30日 · Reference Model 6 (RM6) is a Backward Bent Duct Buoy (BBDB), which is a type of oscillating water column wave energy converter. First proposed by Masuda, the BBDB design is a floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device that consists of an air chamber, an L-shaped duct, bow and stern buoyancy modules, and a power take-off (PTO) composed of a ...

2024年12月1日 · The backward-bent duct buoy (BBDB) wave energy converter (WEC) is a floating oscillating water column (OWC) device with high conversion efficiency and low mooring requirements. This study experimentally investigates the effects of air chamber volume, chamber top shape, and center of gravity height on the wave energy capture performance of BBDB WEC.

2019年8月1日 · In this research, focus is on the hydrodynamics of the RM6 BBDB, including some basic issues with the numerical convergence, coupling and decoupling of the motions and most importantly, how to identify and how to optimise the device so that an improved device would have better motion performance for more efficient wave energy conversion.

2018年7月1日 · It is shown that with some simple optimisations, the BBDB OWC device could increase the annual energy production (AEP) significantly. A simple change in making a uniformed water column for the...

• RM6 Backward Bent Duct Buoy (BBDB) [39]: oscillating water column principle (OWC) adapted to the offshore environment. It incorporates an L-shaped duct, an air chamber and auxiliary buoyancy ...

The back-bent duct buoy (BBDB) can be used as a floating oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter, showing its potential and reliability in most previous...

In this report, a conceptual design for an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter (WEC) device appropriate for the modeled reference resource site was identified, and a detailed backward bent duct buoy (BBDB) device design was developed using a combination of numerical modeling tools and scaled physical models.
