| Résumé: | In this study, a method for effectively estimating the airflow rate of the turbine of an oscillating water column (OWC) pilot plant was developed. The validity of the proposed method was verified through computational fluid dynamics simulations. The method was applied to estimate the airflow rate in irregular wave states based on the operation data obtained for the Yongsoo OWC pilot plant installed in the western seas of Jeju Island, South Korea. As an alternative to estimating the airflow rate of the OWC pilot plant, the impulse turbine performance chart-based interpolation method is introduced, and it is shown that the airflow rate time series calculated using the two methods were in good agreement. |
