Abstract EN
This paper describes the present status of the art on air turbines, which could be used for wave energy conversion.
The air turbines included in the paper are as follows: Wells type turbines, impulse turbines, radial turbines, cross-flow turbine, and Savonius turbine.
The overall performances of the turbines under irregular wave conditions, which typically occur in the sea, have been compared by numerical simulation and sea trial.
As a result, under irregular wave conditions it is found that the running and starting characteristics of the impulse type turbines could be superior to those of the Wells turbine.
Moreover, as the current challenge on turbine technology, the authors explain a twin-impulse turbine topology for wave energy conversion.
