Abstract

Wave Energy Converters (WECs) plant based on pendulum system is one type of the WECs that has easy ways of working. In this task, the WECs based on pendulum system had been tested using simulation CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) and experimental approach. The aim of this research is to analyze the geometry of pontoon that exacts to trimaran that can produce a huge amplitude of pendulum oscillation. The analyzed aspect is the combination of outrigger length, outrigger height, pendulum rod length, pendulum mass, and wave periods which have a maximum amplitude of pendulum oscillation. The results show that the best combination is pontoon thus has outrigger length of 413 mm, outrigger height of 40 mm, pendulum rod length of 106.7 mm, pendulum mass of 20, and wave periods of 0.8 s which have a maximum amplitude of pendulum oscillation as big as 60 degrees. The pontoon response (RAO) roll, heave, and pitch on draught 1/2 or 2/3. The frequency around 1.25 Hz - 1.5 Hz decreased.
