碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 海洋環境及工程學系研究所 === 102 === For an offshore platform structure applied to wave-energy conversion system, in order to catch the maximum waves to generate more powers, similar to wind-energy power generators, a range of angles for the devices normal to the propagating direction of incident waves is required, particular when the power converting system has directional preference. That is one essential reason why a single-mooring offshore platform system is so important in the development of an offshore wave-energy conversion system. The single mooring-system would allow the offshore wave-energy conversion system to turn freely in accordance to the action of strong directions of propagating waves and in this way, most energy induced form the incident waves can be caught and converted into reusable powers. The aims of this study, we use three different types of the PVC tubes as the model of the magnetic field and to lay on the floating structure. We tested in a single-mooring offshore platform system, and using the water-tank experiment to find out the best experimental design in different wave periods and floating structure in different water depth and to explore the best generating electric power system of generating capacity.
