   报告题目：Research on the Development of a Novel Wave Energy Converter Using a Bidirectional Air/Water Turbine

   报告简介：This presentation traces the development of a power take-off (PTO) system for commercial  wave energy converters at Korea Maritime & Ocean University (KMOU) since 2006, under the supervision of Professor Young-Ho Lee. A mechanical centrifugal cross-flow turbine, commonly used in the micro-hydropower industry, was adopted as the primary energy-conversion device. The turbine is inherently capable of operating with the bidirectional airflow or water flow characteristic of oscillating water column (OWC) systems. Initial research focused on experimentally validating this bidirectional operating principle in a two-dimensional wave flume at laboratory scale. Subsequently, following a series of systematic model tests, sea trials of a newly designed floating wave energy converter, named KMOU WAVESHIP, were conducted near the KMOU campus. More recently, research has focused on developing a high-efficiency turbine design through numerical simulations, achieving substantial improvements in turbine efficiency.

   报告人简介：Young-Ho Lee is a Research Chair Professor at Korea Maritime & Ocean University (KMOU), where he has served since 1980, following his graduation from the University's Department of Marine Engineering. He later joined the faculty in the Division of Mechanical Engineering. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1992, specializing in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry (PIV).

In 1997, he launched a university start-up for the development and commercializtion of PIV system. In 2001, he established the Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute (KOMERI) and served as its founding president. In 2011, he initiated the Asia-Pacific Forum on Renewable Energy (AFORE) in Korean Society for New and Renewable Energy (KSNRE) and served as the founding chair of its organizing committee. He served as president of the Korean Society of Fluid Machinery (KSFM) in 2016 and of KSNRE from 2016 to 2018.

His research has focused on fluid dynamics based turbine design for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy, and hydropower applications. His current research interests include Power-to-X technologies, particularly the conversion of offshore wind and wave power into green hydrogen and ammonia fuels, with the aim of contributing to a carbon-neutral green shipping world.
