The present invention relates to a platform for capturing wave energy suitable for deep and ultra-deep waters, comprising a cover (1) supported on a submerged hull (2) by means of hydrodynamic pillars (3) uniformly distributed along its sides. Its plan view is V-shaped and it is self-orienting such that the wave front moves forward perpendicularly to its plane of symmetry. The wave energy is absorbed by means of separate capture modules (4) which, located between the pillars (3) along the sides, come into contact with the waves progressively as they move forward, which makes it possible to convert their periodic movement into a continuous movement. The platform is stabilized using large ballasts (8) connected, by means of mooring lines (9), to the lower edge of its pivot shaft (10), which allows it to automatically position itself correctly at all times.
La présente invention concerne une plate-forme utile pour capturer l'énergie des vagues, conçue pour les eaux profondes et ultraprofondes, constituée d'un chapeau (1) reposant sur une coque immergée (2) au moyen de piliers hydrodynamiques (3) uniformément répartis sur ses flancs. Vue en plan, elle a une forme de V et elle s'auto-oriente de sorte que le front de la vague avance perpendiculairement au plan de symétrie de celle-ci. L'énergie des vagues est absorbée au moyen de modules de capture (4) indépendants qui sont placés entre les piliers (3) sur les flancs et se trouvent progressivement en contact avec les vagues à mesure qu'elles avancent, ce qui donne la possibilité de transformer le mouvement périodique des vagues en un mouvement continu. La plate-forme est stabilisée au moyen de grands lests (8) reliés, par des câbles d'amarrage (9) à l'extrémité inférieure de son axe de pivotement (10), ce qui lui permet de s'auto-positionner de manière correcte à chaque instant.
