  Using marine renewable energy can contribute providing the energy instead of using fossil fuel. There are some types of marine renewable energy. Wave energy is one of these and no one doubts its vast potential once they glance the sea. The object of this paper is an array of Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PA-WECs). In the array, complex hydrodynamic interactions among the array will occur. The interaction influences the wave power density among the array both increase and decrease. When we consider the maximization of generated electric power of the array, the suitable choice of the control force of the generator taken into a positive effect of the hydrodynamic interactions is the key. In the past research, as for a detection of the suitable control force of a single PA-WEC it has been shown the analytical solution within linear system. In this paper, we show the numerical solution of the control force parameter for maximizing the generated electric power of the array taking the hydrodynamic interaction among the array both in diffraction and radiation problem into account. Then we carried out the numerical examination and discussed the good arrangement of an array in waves based on the proposed method and an effect of the choice of the best and better control force.

  Linear driving wave energy converter (WEC) system need to control the electric generator to obtain more power generation. Electric power is consumed by control, but it is possible to control the natural period of the floating motion. By resonating the movement of the float part with wave, it is possible to obtain the power generation more than the control power consumption, the total power generation performance will be improved. In this study, to ensure the WEC safety and performance for various wave condition, especially high wave height, the electrical control algorithms are changed for different wave condition. A control strategy is proposed for various wave condition considering the control force limitation and motion amplitude limitation. Basis on the control strategy, the range of operation by electric control is estimated. In addition, by estimating the expected value of power generation in the set sea, the setting parameters of the WEC can be discussed according to the wave situation.

  In 1950’s and 1960’s, Mihama beach in Heda Bay located on western coast of Izu peninsular had been famous for the richness in shell fauna, for example, about 400 species including rare ones were collected. In 2000’s, however, the impoverishment of ecosystem function has become considerable, which led us to project the investigation on the origin and restoration. The authors carried out field survey in 2007-2008 and found that the impoverishment of Mihama is derived not from surface water but from the benthic environment. The suitability indices (SI) for each environmental factors were calculated by using the results of hydrodynamic and sediment transport simulations. By using the developed scheme, total habitat unit was evaluated for the proposed regeneration plans and compared to that without countermeasures. It was predicted that the removal of the piers will improve the habitat condition in the target site. Based on the proposal by the authors, a water pathway under the pier was built in 2009. The authors conducted field survey again in 2014 and confirmed that the benthic environment has been improved.

• EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BUBBLE SIZE MEASUREMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SEAFLOOR MASSIVE SULFIDES

  　View Summary

  Seafloor Massive Sulfides have been expected to be future mineral resources. To promote the development of Seafloor Massive Sulfides, Seafloor Mineral Processing, a method of extracting valuable minerals from the ores on deep seafloor using flotation to reduce the lifting cost of ores from the seafloor to the sea surface, was proposed. Bubble size measurement by image analysis was carried out by the procedure established at the first phase. While the process of bubble generation at the high pressures was similar to that at the atmospheric pressure, the bubble size was decreased as the pressure rose. The result implies there is a strong correlation between the pressure and the bubble size.
