Abstract
This study describes a novel system of compressed air generation using a pendulum wave energy converter installed in a coastal defense structure. The objective of this study is to understand how much energy from the incoming waves can be captured for use by the system. Laboratory experiments were carried out to determine the effects of wave and system load conditions on energy conversion efficiency and wave reflection. The test results show that the system can operate with a high degree of efficiency under standing wave and high-load conditions. A reduction of wave reflection can be achieved by the system under a wide range of wave conditions.
