“…The previous studies 4–7 deal with axial‐flow turbines, while there are no reports on OWC wave power plants using vertical‐axis turbines. Besides, we have explored turbine characteristics in steady flow for the purpose of using vertical‐axis turbines in wind and tidal power plants 8,9 . The present paper is intended to clarify characteristics of vertical‐axis turbines under reciprocating airflow conditions in OWC power plants.…”

Renewable energy is attracting attention as an alternative to current mainstream power generator sources. One source of renewable energy is wave energy. We devised a simulator for the OWC-type wave power generator and developed a reciprocating airflow generator is generated reciprocating airflow by using the reciprocating motion of a piston. This piston motion was achieved by converting the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion of the ball screw via gears. Furthermore, we used a vertical axis turbine with arc camber blades and studied on the turbine characteristics. Owing to the reciprocation of the piston, a substantially sinusoidal reciprocating airflow was generated in the measurement section. It was confirmed that a reciprocating airflow speed was generated for all the target values. A load characteristic test of the turbine was conducted. It was confirmed that the maximum turbine output was 1.60 W.
