本研究的目的為設計一波浪發電系統來獲得海洋能。震盪水柱型波浪發電方法是一種受地形影響較低且較容易設計的發電方式，但其以波浪帶動空氣發電的方法造成能量密度損失導致發電量下降。本實驗則設計了能夠改善此情況的發電系統，並驗證以氣壓改變帶動水位變化，再利用水的能量變化以推動水輪發電機的發電方式之可行性。實驗設備為震盪水柱型波浪發電系統，於共振箱末端連結一發電水槽，共振箱與發電水槽間為封閉空間，故震盪水柱的高低產生變化將會改變內部空氣壓力的變化，內部空氣壓力則會改變發電水槽內的水位變化，實驗中為了簡化實驗機構，本實驗並無安裝發電機，而是藉由量測共振箱壁面波高變化、內部空氣壓力變化及發電水槽水位變化，以分析在不同條件下的波浪所產生的最大可能發電量。本實驗使用的造浪池其造浪的參數為環境水深、造浪板幅度與擺動頻率。實驗結果為在造浪板擺幅為0.2公尺、0.3公尺、0.4公尺，波浪週期為1.5秒至3.4秒之間，發電水槽水位的波高約為原入射波分別為： 19％至68％之間、30％至61％之間、19％至68％之間，且發電水槽的最大可能發電量皆明顯高於若在共振箱末端裝置風力發電機的最大可能發電量。

The purpose of this study is to design a wave-energy device to convert wave energy. Oscillating water column type of wave-energy device has a good adaptation for different topographies, and it is easy to design. Due to the loss of energy density, the method of generating power by using oscillating water column to push air would lower the output. In this experiment, a wave nergy device is designed to improve the power generating system. Also, it verifies the feasibility of using air pressure to generate oscillating water column in order to create the difference in the water level that can produce energy to push the water turbine. The device of the experiment is an oscillating water column type of energy device that its air chamber part is connected to a generator-sink. Therefore, the generator-sink and air chamber become an enclosed space. In this way, the oscillating water column changes the air pressure in the air chamber, and the inside air pressure changes the water level in the generator sink. To simplify the mechanism of this experiment, no turbine is installed on the wave-energy device. We can get the maximum potential energy by measuring the wave height on the air chamber wall, the air pressure between the air chamber and the generator sink, and the change of water level in the generator sink. The parameters of the wavemaker in this experiment are the local water depth, the stroke , and the frequency of paddle. The stroke of paddle is 0.2m, 0.3m, and 0.4m. The wave period is in the range of 1.5s to 3.4s. The ratio of the wave height in the generator sink to the wave height on the air chamber wall are 19% to 68%(when the stroke is 0.2m), 30% to 61%( when the stroke is 0.3m) , and 19% to 68%(when the stroke is 0.4m). Obviously, the maximum potential energy of the generator sink is larger than the potential energy when a wind turbine is equipped at the end of the air chamber.
