Abstract
An oscillating water column (OWC) wave power generation system, including wave energy converter, asynchronous generator, synchronous condenser and varied load, was built. Consequently, by using the frequency control and reactive power compensation techniques, an islanding power supply scheme was proposed. A comparative performance analysis in speed, torque, frequency and output voltage of the wave power generation system was done with single wave inputs and multiple wave inputs. The simulation results show that the proposed model can satisfy different running conditions of the wave power generation system. Moreover, the proposed power generation scheme can ensure the normal running of the system. It can provide good reference values for the actual construction of the wave energy system.
