Abstract

In this study, the multi-body dynamics model for a wave energy converter is established. The equations of motions for the mechanical parts of the wave energy converter are derived to analyze the dynamic behavior. A spring method with the same performance as the counter weight method is proposed. The counter weight method and spring method are analyzed for evaluating the performance of the wave energy converter. RecurDyn program which is a kind of commercial multi-body dynamics program is used to perform the dynamic simulation of the wave energy converter.
