ABSTRACT:
A marine wave power plant includes interconnected, swingable, floating basic units with anchoring means. Each unit consists of bearing displacement tubes, a stationary member and a displacement body movably joined thereto and moving with the waves. The wave movements are converted to electrical energy via a hydraulic-electrical system. The rear surface of the movable member is curved with its center of curvature at the journalling axis on the stationary member to avoid pumping between the two members, while a journalling arm is length-adjustable for different wave characteristics. To control the various parameters dependent on incoming waves, a sensor measures the water level in front of the displacement body. The movements of this body, the radian volume of the hydraulic motor and the electrical power output is controlled via a process computer.
