【 摘 要 】

The efficient and reliable marine vehicle is an important tool to develop marine resources, and the lack of reliable power supply methods is one of the important issues that restrict the development of marine vehicle. This paper designs a new type of marine vehicle that can use environmental energy to absorb wave energy and convert it into electricity. The generated electric energy is temporarily stored in a battery or directly supplied to its own equipment. This article describes the main structure of the new marine vehicle and focuses on the energy module of the vehicle. And the energy module has been analysed and optimized. In this paper, the influence of the blade angle on the performance characteristics of the energy module is numerically analysed, and its variation law which lays a foundation for further structural optimization is obtained.
