Abstract

The Ministry of Transport is currently developing a wave energy absorption type caisson breakwater called a wave power extracting caisson. The aim of developing this type of breakwater is to improve its performance such as stability against waves by providing air chambers which serve as energy converters, a d to reduce costs for wave power generation through use of breakwater.This report describes the field experiment of the breakwater at Sakata Port and its results.
