In order to achieve a rapid response to waves and the efficient collection and utilization of wave energy
starting from the hydraulic power take-off(PTO)system of the wave energy converters
the scheme design of the multi-stage unit PTO system was carried out
and the design parameters of each component were determined. To verify the performance of the multi-stage unit PTO system
simulations were conducted under three sea conditions for a single-stage PTO system
a two-stage unit PTO system (50 kW+50 kW)
and a three-stage unit PTO system(20 kW+30 kW+50 kW)
all with a total installed power of 100 kW. The system pressure
total power generation
and the power of each generator from the simulation results were compared and analyzed. The results show that under small wave conditions
the three-stage unit generates the least amount of electricity
while the two-stage unit generates the most electricity; under large wave conditions
the three-stage unit generates the most electricity
and the two-stage unit generates the least. In summary
under the same wave conditions
the multi-stage unit energy conversion system has a better response time and generates more electricity than the single-stage unit; and the more stages a unit has
the higher the system's adaptability to large waves will be.
