2005, the first low-power real-time test of the wave energy independent power
generation system at Shanwei Wave Power Station was successful, which indicates
that the wave energy in ocean energy can generate electricity steadily, as shown in
Fig. 14.24. The test results show that the wave independent power generation
system has achieved the expected results in shock resistance, stable power generation, and small wave power generation. The system consists of three parts:
independent power generation system, dilution control system and floating charging
system. The total installed capacity is 50 kW, and the maximum wave energy peak
power is 400 kW. However, after 29 h of operation during a typhoon in August of
that year, the operation was stopped because the device was destroyed by huge
waves.
During the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, with the support of the Science and
Technology Research Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology,
Guangzhou Energy Research Institute built a 100 kW shore oscillating water column power station in the easternmost part of Zhelang Town, Shanwei City,
Guangdong Province. This is a shore oscillating water column wave energy device
