摘要
A semisubmersible platform-based(SPB)bottom-hinged flap(BHF)wave energy converter(WEC)concept is presented in this paper,and its platform hydrodynamic response was studied experimentally.Aimed at studying the special WEC-mounted platform response problem,both regular and irregular wave experiments were conducted.The frequency domain results of regular wave experiments are described in the form of response amplitude operators.The time domain results of irregular wave experiments are treated by statistical analysis and fast Fourier transformation.Regular wave experiments and irregular wave experiments show good consistency.The mooring system strongly affects the whole system,which is a considerable factor for WEC design.The influences of BHF mounted on the platform are revealed in both statistic and frequency spectral ways.The results of experiments give a guide for SPB design aiming to support BHF-WEC.
