This paper presents the results of experimental research focused on wave energy harvesting and its conversion to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The harvesting and conversion process was performed using a wave energy converter (WEC) consisting of a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic perovskite material and a prototype power electronic circuit. The designed WEC was considered as a power supply for an end node device (END) of an IoT network. The END consisted of a long-range radio module and an electronic paper display. A set of physical experiments were carried out, and the results confirmed that an energy surplus was supplied by WEC compared to the energy consumed by the END. Hence, the proposed scheme was experimentally validated as a convenient solution that could enable the autonomous operation of an IoT device. The use case presented here for the proposed WEC was analysed for selected sea areas on the basis of wave statistics. The novelty of this paper arises from an investigation that confirms that WECs can significantly contribute to the development of wireless and mobile IoT communication powered by freely available sea wave energy.

The article’s proposal refers to a new concept of wave energy converter (WEC), in which the power take-off (PTO) is combined with the mechanical and hydrostatic transmission. Here, the wave energy is absorbed by turning the two-way movement of an incident wave into the one-way rotation of a hydraulic pump which drives a high-pressure (HP) hydraulic circuit. Electricity is generated using a rotating generator which is driven by an HP hydraulic circuit. First, the coupled PTO mechanism is presented to describe the working principle of the proposed WEC. Next, a mathematical model of the buoy connects generator system is shown to analyze the equipment’s performance subjected regular waves. And then, by using the theory of linear potential wave, the hydrodynamic forces acting on the semi-submerged floating buoy and an analytical model of the mechanical transmission coupled with the hydraulic transmission are modeled to investigate the motion of the rotary generator. An experimental Setup is performed to verify the analytical model. Based on the validated model, a structural optimization is calculated to bring the system to resonance condition. Then, a dry test is implemented to analyze the system’s performance. Some optimum parameters are determined and applied to the analytical model, which sends the signal to drive the actuator. As a result, the absorbed efficiency is increased significantly.

This study employed viable methods for the selection of a preeminent mooring line amongst other alternatives for the mooring of a floating wave energy converter (WEC) in shallow waters. Conventional mooring lines for WEC mooring are identified for an optimal selection exercise. A combination of the Entropy Weight and Visekriterijumska Optimizacijia I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methods is utilized in the aforementioned exercise. The two methods are effectively used in an assessment of the attributes and performance of various mooring lines in practical application. The result obtained demonstrated that a steel wire rope is the best mooring line suitable for WEC system operations. It constitutes a good reference to marine and offshore engineering industries in decision making related to optimal mooring lines suitable for the mooring of a WEC system in shallow waters.

The oscillating buoy wave energy converter (OBWEC) captures wave energy through the undulating movement of the buoy in the waves. In the process of capturing wave energy, the hydrodynamic performance of the buoy plays an important role. This paper designed the “Haida No. 1” OBWEC, in which the buoy adopts a form of swinging motion. In order to further improve the hydrodynamic performance of the buoy, a 2D numerical wave tank (NWT) model is established using ADINA software based on the working principle of the device. According to the motion equation of the buoy in the waves, the influence of the buoy shape, arm length, tilt angle, buoy draft, buoy width, wave height and Power Take-off (PTO) damping on the hydrodynamic performance of the buoy is studied. Finally, a series of physical experiments are performed on the device in a laboratory pool. The experimental results verify the consistency of the numerical results. The research results indicate that the energy conversion efficiency of the device can be improved by optimizing the hydrodynamic performance of the buoy. However, the absorption efficiency of a single buoy for wave energy is limited, so it is very difficult to achieve full absorption of wave energy.

Hydraulic cylinders play a vital role in the energy output (PTO) system of an oscillating float-type wave Energy converter, whose function is to convert the mechanical energy captured by the float from the waves into hydraulic energy. The performance of the hydraulic cylinder determines the conversion efficiency of mechanical energy to hydraulic energy in the system; therefore, it is necessary to study the working mechanism of the hydraulic cylinder. This paper takes a self-developed oscillating float-type wave energy converter as the research object, and studies the working mechanism of its hydraulic cylinder, and uses the linear analysis method to derive the critical self-excited vibration curve of the hydraulic cylinder. In addition, the effects of the external load, hydraulic cylinder load mass, stroke length, spring stiffness and piston area on the performance of the hydraulic cylinder were studied by AMESim simulation software. According to the simulation results, a physical model of the hydraulic cylinder is established. Finally, the physical model is tested in a hydrodynamic pool. The test results show that the hydraulic cylinder can stably and efficiently convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy even under small waves, thus verifying the rationality of the hydraulic cylinder design.

The entire work progress of wave energy power generation device is introduced, and the hydraulic transmission principles are emphasized through the simulation to verify the feasibility of design principle of hydraulic transmission system. The mathematical model of the accumulator is established and applied in the AMEsim simulation. The simulation results show that the accumulator plays an important role in the wave power hydraulic transmission system and that the correct configuration of accumulator parameters can improve the rapidity and stability of the system work. Experimental results are compared with the simulation results to validate the correctness of the simulation results. This would provide a valuable reference to the optimal design of wave power generation.
