Patent

CA 2651998

The stability and power conversion efficiency of a wave energy converter (WEC) which includes a float, a spar and a power taken device (PTO) connected between the spar and the float is increased by connecting a heave plate to the spar in a very secure manner and by carefully limiting the movement between the float and spar to one direction (i.e., up-down motion). Buoyancy chambers may be attached to the WEC to facilitate its transportation and deployment. The WEC may be formed in sections and assembled at, or close to, the point of deployment.

Selon l'invention, la stabilité et l'efficacité de conversion de puissance d'un convertisseur d'énergie des vagues (WEC) qui comprend un flotteur, un pylône et un dispositif de prise de force (PTO) relié entre le pylône et le flotteur, sont améliorées par raccordement d'une plaque anti-pilonnement au pylône de manière extrêmement sécurisée et par limitation du mouvement entre le flotteur et le pylône à une direction (à savoir, un mouvement ascendant). Des chambres de flottaison peuvent être attachées au convertisseur d'énergie des vagues afin de faciliter son transport et son déploiement. Le convertisseur d'énergie des vagues peut être formé en sections et être assemblé au niveau ou à proximité du point de déploiement.
