Analysis of Hydrodynamic Model of Wave Energy Converter of Inverse Pendulum

The efficiency analysis of wave energy collection and conversion is crucial for utility of wave energy of inverse pendulum. In the paper, we build the hydrodynamic model of interaction between pendulum and wave in wave energy converter of inverse pendulum. On the basis of this typical model, we choose the actual wave condition of some sea area in the east of China as the background, research the hydrodynamic property of pendulum by numerical simulation with fluent software, get the relation curve of between the rotation angle of pendulum and moment of wave force with time, and acquire energy conversion model from wave energy to mechanical energy in wave energy converter of inverse pendulum. It makes the beneficial exploration for optimal design of wave energy converter of inverse pendulum.
