Title:
DUAL POINT ABSORBER CONNECTED TO FACILITY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2021175895
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an improved device and method, capable of increasing power even outside a design period range, and capable of converting wave energy to electrical energy, the wave energy facilitating connection of some dual point absorbers to a facility on a water surface.SOLUTION: A dual point absorber comprises a first buoy, a second buoy and a power extraction device. The first buoy of the dual point absorber is connected to a link mechanism. The second buoy of the dual point absorber is movable with respect to the first buoy. The power extraction device is connected to the first buoy and the second buoy. The linkage mechanism can be used to reduce the vertical movement of the first buoy caused by waves.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
