ABSTRACT:
Installation for harnessing wave energy, comprising a floating structure (1) that comprises at least one gyroscopic device (5) with a flywheel (6) that can turn by the action of a motor (7) and a generator (10) configured so that when the gyroscopic device (5) is in use, said flywheel (6) is subjected to a pitching torque caused by the motion of the waves that feeds the generator (10), wherein the installation also comprises: means (23, 44) for controlling the motor (7); means (24, 45) for controlling the generator (10); a floating device (25) for capturing data on the waves; means for transmitting the data captured by the data-capturing floating device (25) and for receiving said data in the floating structure (1); a control unit (16) that calculates at least one parameter applicable by the means (23, 44) for controlling the motor (7) and at least one parameter applicable by the means (24, 45) for controlling the generator (10).
