Abstract

This research aimed to develop instrument for measuring wave power potential by using buoyancy type at coastal area at Had Chao Samran in Phetchaburi province. The study of parameters of related to wave power from pure sinusoidal wave equation were wave period and wave height. The design and construction of wave power potential measuring instrument by using one mechanism of buoyancy, it is a device that receives waves from the sea and transmits power through a connecting rod to a mechanism which convert the linear motion to an angular motion. From measurement, the sea wave period is in the range of 4.88-7.68 s which not the equal each day and the average of wave height at testing time from measuring instrument is 0.16 m. The calculation of these parameters finds that the average of wave power is 0.42 kW/m. The analysis of potential wave power data along the coast of Phetchaburi, total distance of coast is 93,285 m, which can be the wave power from a potential measuring instrument for one mechanism is 43,843 kW. However, this research is a preliminary study of the feasibility of developing instrument for converting wave power into energy for Thailand. The wave power research should be developed to be more effective for develop wave power to alternative energy resource as a sustainable source in the future of Thailand. Keywords: wave period, wave height, wave power, buoyancy, Phetchaburi Coastal
