Abstract

Movable object type wave power generators produce energy through the process of primary energy conversion, which converts the potential and kinetic energy of the waves into mechanical energy, secondary energy conversion that converts it into energy for generator operation using a mechanical system or hydraulic system, and final energy conversion, the last step in power generation. The secondary energy conversion system that transmits and amplifies energy according to the primary energy conversion needs to secure durability while power generation performance varies greatly depending on how the secondary energy conversion system is built. As a result, reliability assessment of systems based on system engineering are a very important issue. Therefore, in this study, for the conceptual design based on reliability assessment of the secondary energy conversion system, the system concept was established using the integrated computer-aided manufacturing (ICAM) definition for function modeling (IDEF0), a system analysis method, while necessary equipment and process flow diagrams (PFD) were derived. In addition, the database (DB) and formula of the secondary energy conversion system were constructed, and reliability assessment algorithms and programs were developed. Finally, the PFD and reliability assessment program were verified by applying them to a representative movable object type wave power generator.
