WAVE POWER PLANTTECHNICAL FIELDThe present invention relates to a wave power plant for the conversion and storage of wave energy.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ARTWave energy, also called blue energy, is essentially oneunused energy source for the extraction of environmentally friendly andrenewable energy in the form of electricity. Extraction of energy fromsea waves via wave power plants is the method that has the largestpotential compared to other methods based ontidal differences, temperature differences or differences15-20times more energy per square meter compared to wind andin saline concentration. Sea waves includesolar. According to the IEA, the global potential for wave energy is between 8,000 and 80,000 TWH.portion ofBy utilizing a smallerthe potentially available wave energy canthe transition from today's fossil-based power productionto an environmentally friendly renewable electricity production based onWave energy, greatly accelerated. Problems that must be considered when designing a single wave power plant include wear or damage that canarise due to flowing water and corrosive environment, or due to collision with ships, etc. Although the environmental consequences of a single-wave power plant for the environment are considered to be small, the next possible negative effects on the demarina systems are considered. An additional problem that should be taken into account is the high construction costs. According to recently published British compilations, the cost is, today, for a full-scale prototype of between SEK 70,000-1,000,000 / kW. A 10 MW wave power plant farm is estimated to cost between 500-600 million (50,000-60,000 SEK / kW)according to the same source.
There are a few different types of 'wave power plants, such as.water cylinders (OWC). An OWC is an air container, usuallyfor example wave power plants based on oscillatinga vertically standing cylinder, which is open on the underside towards the water surface, and which has an air outlet via a turbine on top of the cylinder. When a wave hits the cylinder the rising water level in which air insidecylinder, cylindercompressed so that the air pressure drives the turbine.
Another common type of wave power plant is based on the interconnection of many floating bodies, so-called multi-segment structures, which are arranged perpendicular to incoming waves. The floats are interconnected via articulated connections, which allow the floats to move sigrelatively to each other. The relative movements of the floating bodies, which are concentrated on the articulated connections betweenthe floats, are used for pressurizing hydraulic pistons which drive a fluid through a motor which in itstour operates an electric generator.
A third type of wave power plant uses the energy in upward and downward movements in a floating body by using a single arrangement with drivelines connected between the floating body andan anchor point and / or a counterweight via one or morepower generating devices, such as, for example, electric generators for the production of electric current. In the patent document US20l4l520l5 A1, figure 1, awave power plants of the latter type. The wave power plant 10, figaccumulating unit 200 and a power generating unit 300an energy absorbing unit comprises energy arranged in a surface-based floating body 20.

One moreproblem is the arrangement of drivelinesbetween the two power generating rotor drums 120,230 andthe bottom foundation 30 resp. the counterweight 40, which makes the wave power plant complex. An additional problem is that the wave power plant lackspossibility of intermediate storage of energy for equalization ofvariations in wave height / wave intensity.
