    Switching station for wave energy converters in a wave power stationCALCULATE SKT AREAThe present invention relates to a switching station for a plurality of wave energy converters included in a wave power station, which switching station comprises at least one transformer and at least one connector for electrically interconnecting a plurality of input power cables, for transmitting current produced from said wave energy converter, with an output current a switching station, the switching station being provided with at least one buoyancy body portion for providing a buoyancy force and at least one fastening device forfixing at least one anchor line connected to an anchor.
    UPPI NNI NGENS BACKGROUNDWave motions in oceans and large lakes are a significant source of energy that can be utilized by extracting energy from the waves with the help of wave power generators, also called wave energy converters, which are placed or anchored in places with suitable wave conditions.
    A number of different types of wave energy converters for the extraction and conversion of wave energy into electrical energy are already known. An example is so-called linear generators which, via a line or other connecting means, can transmit vertical movements of a floating body caused by wave motions to one-way and reciprocating motion of a generator coil or rotor of a single-line generator anchored at the sea or seabed. The reciprocating motion of the generator coil / rotor in turn generates electric current in the windings of an adjacent stator of the bottom anchor line linear generator.
    Another includes onepreviously known type of wave energy converterwave energy absorbing buoyancy body with an energy absorption and conversion system that can be located on the seabed. The floating body is connected to a winch via a winch cable. The winch and winch wire interconnect the floating body with a reference body below the water surface, such as aanchoring platform below the water surface, an anchor lying on the bottom, oranother anchoring device. When the wave forces cause the floating body to movethe longitudinal direction of the winch wire is forced to rotate the winch, after which the generated rotational movement of the winch shaft can be converted into electricityusing an energy conversion system.
    Yet another type of prior art wave energy converter is instead based on relative movement between, on the one hand, a floating body and a so-called acceleration tube attached thereto and, on the other hand, a working piston which is reciprocating in the acceleration tube, the relative movement being caused by wave motions in the body of water where the wave energy converter is anchored by means of one or more mooring lines to extract wave energy. Working piston movement can pump unit, double-acting hydraulic pump or a hose pump, a hydraulic motorbe used to drive, for example, one such as a and / or a hydraulic turbine of an energy conversion system arranged in or adjacent to the floating body to generate electricity which can betransferred to an energy storage or electricity grid.
    When extracting electric current from wave power, it is desirable to be able to place a plurality of wave energy converters in a group close to each other in a location with particularly favorable wave conditions in order to achieve an efficient recovery of wave energy. By arranging, for example, ten, twenty, or even more wave energy converters in such a group, also called wave power station, several advantages are achieved. An advantage is that one and the same service vessel can perform checks and ongoing maintenance on all wave energy converters in the wave power station without any unnecessary transport distances, which saves time, personnel and costs. Another advantage is that the electric current produced by the wave energy converters in a wave power station can be transported further to land via a common collection cable, which reduces the transmission losses and the risk.for cable breakage and reduces the cost of laying electrical cables.
    In order to be able to conduct electrical current produced by the wave energy converters in a wave power station to shore via a common electrical cable, at least one connection station is required which enables electrical connection of input electrical cables from individual wave energy converters with a common output electrical cable.
    In wave power stations where the individual wave energy converters' energy conversion systems are located on a bottom surface in the sea or a lake oron an underwater structure anchored to the bottom surface, which is often the casefor example linear generators, it is most natural to also arrange the switching station or stations on or at the bottom surface, i.e. the underwater surface. Such an installation of an electrical connection station underwater surface, however, places very high demands on the watertightness of the station and can also lead to high costs for underwater equipment and divers, for example when individualrepairs and connections or disconnections ofwave energy converters must be implemented.
    In wave power stations where the individual wave energy converters are instead of a type where the energy conversion system is located adjacent to a buoy or floating body which floats on or near the water surface, as is usually the case e.g. co-wave energy converters with acceleration tubes, one could eliminate, or significantly reduce, the cost of underwater work if the switching station or stations are designed to float on or nearthe water surface.
    A floating switching station for wave energy converters is previously known from the patent specification SE 507 925, which describes a power station consisting of 10 separate buoy power plants with turbines of so-called Savonia type. Buoy power plant feeds with electrical cables a collection station in a separate central buoy. The central buoy is equipped with suitable equipment, such as switches and disconnectors, transformers and protection relays. From the central buoy, a collection cable is pulled to land via the seabed. The individual buoy power plants are anchored, preferably with three-core chains offset 120 ° relative to each other so that the buoys cannot rotate with the turbine. According to what is stated in SE 507 925, the central buoy can also be anchored in a similar way, but otherwise no further details are given about howthe central buoy / coupling station is designed and constructed.
    After a long period of inventive work combined with practical experiments, the present inventors have come to the realization that such a, in itself advantageous, floating connection station must be designed in a carefully thought-out and innovative way if connection and disconnection and replacement of electrical cables can be carried out quickly and efficiently. safe way in the demanding environmentwhere the switching station is stationed.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA first object of the present invention is therefore to provide a floating switching station, for a plurality of wave energy converters included in a single-wave power station, which is given a design which enables fast and safe connection and disconnection and replacement of electrical cables when this becomes necessary.

    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSThe invention will be described in the following by a number of different embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, whereinFigure 1 is a schematic view illustrating a switching station according to an embodiment of the invention, which via a mooring line is partially submerged below the water surface in the direction of an anchor laid out on a bottom surface and which together with a plurality of wave energy converters form a wave power station,Figure 2 is a schematic, enlarged view of the switching station of Figure 1,Figure 3 is a schematic, cropped view of the switching station seen from one side,figure 4 is a schematic, cropped view of the switching station seen from yet another side, andFigure 5 is a schematic, cropped view illustrating the switching station partly in section and with parts of the outer cladding removed.
    DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTIONIn the following, a number of embodiments of a switching station according to the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the appendix figures 1-5.
    Figure 1 is a schematic view illustrating a switching station 100, according to one embodiment of the invention, for a plurality of wave energy converters WEC1, WEC2 included in a wave power station 101. In Figure 1, for the sake of clarity, only twowave energy converters connected to the switching station, but it should be noted that the number of wave energy converters included in a wave power station 101 is typically larger, normally ten wave energy converters or even more. The wave energy converters WEG1, WEG3 shown in Fig. 1 are of the aforementioned type with acceleration tubes. It will be appreciated that the switching station according to the invention may be used in conjunction with wave energy converters of any suitable type. It should also be understood that the anchor lines for the two wave energy converters WEG1, WEG3 have been omitted in the schematicthe representation in Fig. 1.
    As indicated in Fig. 1 and even more clearly shown in Fig. 5, the switching station 100 according to the invention comprises at least one transformer 102 and at least one connector 103 for electrical interconnection of a plurality of included power cables G1, G3, for transmitting produced current from said wave energy converter WEG1, WEG3 output collection cable G3, for the transmission of electric current from the wave power station 101 to an electricity grid. It should be understood that the transmission of electric current to an electricity grid can take place directly or indirectly. The transformed electric current from the wave power station 101 can thus be conducted via the collection cable G3 directly to a mains in certain applications. In other applications, the produced electric current can instead be led via the collection cable G3 to an additional switching station and / or an additional transformer and / or an energy storage and only then further to an electricity network and consumers connected to the same.
    As shown in Figures 1-5, the switching station 100 according to the invention is provided with at least one buoyancy portion 104 for providing a buoyancy force and at least one fastening device 105 for fixing at least one anchor line 106 connected to an anchor 107.
    The coupling station 100 according to the invention has an elongate shape with an upper rod portion 108 having a top end 109 and further has a bottom end 111, said floating body portion 104 being arranged between said upper rod portion 108 and said bottom end 111.
    The upper rod portion 108 is formed with a longer length in the longitudinal direction of the coupling station 100 and a smaller circumference in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction than said floating body portion 104. A smallercircumference (and cross-sectional area) of the upper rod portion 108 helps to reducethe variation in buoyancy of the partially clamped coupling station 100 due to wave motions, thereby reducing the stresses on the anchor line andenables the use of a smaller and lighter anchor.of the 108 and the floating body portion 104 are selected with respect to expected water level andThe length of the upper bar portion of the buoyancy of the said wave conditions and the weight of the anchor 107 so that, after lengthwise adjustment of the anchor line 106 to the current water depth, fixing of the anchor line 106 to the attachment 105 and laying of the anchor 107, anchor line 106 and coupling station 100 in the body to be kept down underwater surface 112 by the anchor line 106 at all water levels and wave conditions and so that the top end 109 of the upper rod portion 108 will be above a mean water level of the water mass 112 which also corresponds to a construction water line A of the switching station 100 (Figs. 1 and 2). Such a dimensioning of the switching station ensures that it remains substantially vertically upright in all conditions and that the top end of the switching station is sufficiently dry, at least in warm wave conditions, for a fitter to be able to carry out necessary electrical work.
    The at least one fastening device 105 is arranged near the bottom end 111 at a distance from an upper end 113 of the floating body portion 104. Due to such a design, the partially clamped coupling station 100 becomes less prone to tipping or pivoting laterally relative tothe vertical plane.
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said at least one fastening device 105 is arranged at a distance from the upper end 113 of the drain body portion 104 which amounts to at least 5 meters. Such dimensioning allows the float body portion 104 to provide buoyancy along a sufficiently long distance above the anchor line fastener 105 to ensure that the partially clamped coupling station 100 is held substantially vertically.the coupling station does not tip or tilt too much sideways when fittingupright in all wind and wave conditions and thatmust climb on board the same.
    In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, said at least one fastening device 105 is provided with a fastening point 114 for a spare line which has a slightly longer length than the ordinary anchoring line 106 and which in the event of a line break still holds the coupling station at the anchor, floating in a higher floating position. gives an indication that a line break has occurred at the ordinary anchoring line. Such a design of the fastening device gives a clear and reliable indication that a rope break has occurred so that the ordinary anchoring rope can be repaired or beforereplaced somemalfunctions or serious accidents occur.
    The at least one connector 103 is arranged in a waterproof space with the connection station 100 and each of said plurality of included power cables G1, G2 is routed so that at least a portion of the cable extends up to a level at least 2 meters above said construction waterline A. the breeding cables ensure that a fitter can, at least in calm wave conditions, connect or disconnect, or replace, one or more incoming electrical cables in a fast and safe manner with minimal risk of water splashing or penetrating the connection station during the time a power cable is removed from the bypass opening and causing short circuits or other problems orsafety risks for the fitter.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, said waterproof space is located near the top end 109 of the upper rod portion 108, the length of the upper rod portion 108 being selected so that the top end 109 together with said waterproof space and said connector 103 will be sufficiently high, preferably at least 2 meters in the superstructure waterline A. In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1-5, the waterproof space is housed in a waterproof box on the top end 109 of the upper rod portion 108, but embodiments are also conceivable where the waterproof space and connector inside are located at a lower coupling height level. Embodiments (not shown) of the invention are conceivable, for example, where the waterproof space and coupling donor are located inside the upper bar portion below the coupling station construction waterline and where a ladder is provided inside the upper bar portion for an installer to climb into the waterproofspace and access the connector.
    In another advantageous embodiment of the switching station 100 according to the invention, the length of the upper rod portion 108 is selected so that the top end 109 will be above the level of the water mass 112 at high tide water after laying and anchoring the switching station 100. Such a design ensures connection or disconnection or replacement of power cables. can be carried out even at high tides and that the lead-through openings for cables next to the connector 103 in the water-safe space will not be exposed to pre-water pressure for any longer period of time. A water pressure that may act for a longer period of time could increase the risk of unwanted water penetration viathe opening openings.
    In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1-5, the coupling station 100 further comprises a lower rod portion 110 arranged between said floating body portion 104 and said bottom end 111, the length of the lower rod portion 110 being selected to be at least 15% of the total length of the decoupling station between the top end 109. and the bottom end 111. the partial viscous coupling station an increased stability against tilting laterally than otherwiseSuch a design gives the anchored and clamped case, which can be advantageous e.g. in strong winds or when afitter must climb on board the switching station.
    The total length of the coupling station 100 between the top end 109 and the bottom end 111 preferably, but not necessarily, amounts to 20 meters or more.
    The upper rod portion 108 advantageously has a closed cross-sectional shape with end diameter, the distance between the top end 109 and the bottom end 111 being at least 10 times greater than said diameter. Such an elongated design of the switching station provides a smaller variation in buoyancy at varying water levels and wave motions than would otherwise be the case, which enables smaller and lighter anchors foruse of an anchorage ofthe switching station.
    The upper 108 and / or lower 110 rod portion particularly advantageously has a closed cross-sectional shape and a diameter of less than 2 meters. Such a diameter of the upper 108 and / or lower 110 rod portion contributes to the variation in lifting force of the coupling station at varying water levels and wave movements does not become extremely large and that the anchor does not have to become unmanageably heavy.
    In a preferred embodiment of the switching station 100 according to the invention 108 and / or cross-sectional shape and a diameter greater than 600 mm. Such provide a sufficiently large waterproof space within the upper 108 and / or lower 110 rod portion forsaid upper lower 110 rod portion has a closed onesizing makes it possible toto accommodate the transformer, connector and cables.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the switching station 100 according to the invention issaid at least one connector 103 designed as a suitable connector for cables or a seaworthy cable splice. However, embodiments with other types of connectors can be envisaged as long as the requirements imposed on the type of electrical installation in question canmet.
    The at least one connector 103 can advantageously be accommodated in a waterproof device cabinet mounted near the top end 109 or inside a single-cap waterproof chamber integrated in the upper rod portion. However, other embodiments of the invention are also conceivable with othertypes of waterproof spaces or another location thereof.
    In a preferred embodiment of the switching station 100 according to the invention, the at least one transformer 102 is designed as a so-called hexa-transformer. A Hexaformer type transformer is particularly advantageous because it can be built with a small diameter and can be easily mounted by being pressed into the central pipe / cavity that runsthrough the switching station according to the invention.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the switching station 100 is, as illustrated in the figures, provided with an inlet pipe 115 ', 115 "for each input cable G1, G2 from the respective wave energy converters and with a discharge pipe 116 for the output collection cable G3. However, embodiments are conceivable. of the invention where the switching station is completely absent, or is provided with other types of starting means and / or discharge means for the input cables G1, G2 and the output collection cable G3, respectively.
    The switching station may advantageously, as illustrated in the figures, be provided with an introduction means 115 ', 115 "for each input cable G1, G2 from the11the wave energy converters, which initial means are arranged to lead their respective input cables G1, G2 in the vicinity of the upper end 113 of the floating body portion 104 and further in the direction of the top end 109 of the upper rod portion 108.
    The coupling station may also advantageously, as illustrated in the figures, be provided with a discharge means 116 for the outgoing manifold cable G3, which discharge means 116 is arranged to guide the manifold cable G3 in the direction from the top end 109 of the upper rod portion 108 to the floating body portion 104 and thereafter lead the cable the body of water 112 near a lower end 117 of the escape body portion 104.
    In order to reduce the risks of growth of marine or other aquatic organisms at the switching station, it is advantageous if the main part of the external components of the switching station 100 consists of plastic material, especially advantageous of polyethylene plastic, which has been found to resist growth.extremely well.
    In the embodiment of the switching station 100 according to the invention which is schematically illustrated in Figures 1-5, the waterproof space is formed by means of a waterproof box placed on the top end 109 of the switching station 100. The term "waterproof space", as used in the present description, refers to a preferably sealed and advantageously self-ventilated and / or drained space with a location in the switching station which ensures that the space is not exposed to water pressure for any long period which could lead to water intrusion into the space. The current electrical cables G1, G2 from the wave energy converters come to the box via the inlet pipes 115 ', 115 "on the sides of the switching station which opens far below the water surface. The box itself is waterproof, except for the inlet holes from the inlet pipes which are not watertight to change at all. This means that a high wave which washes over the switching station can force water into the inlet pipes 115 ', 115 ". The waterproof space at the top end 109 can still be kept dry as there is an air cushion inside the box which pushes back the water when the wave has passed. In the embodiment according to the appended figures, the first input low voltage cables G1, G2 from the wave energy converters are connected with a common low voltage cable (not shown) inside a waterproof box (not shown). The common low voltage cable leads to the transformer 102, from which12an outgoing high voltage cable (not shown) leads to the waterproof box at the top end 109 of the switching station 100, where the fitter can connect the high voltage cable electrically with the collection cable G3 outgoing from the switching station, for example by means of a waterproof so-called sea cable splice. The waterproof box on the top end 109 is provided with a tight, removable lid that can be removed e.g. in the event of a cable change. The fitter can then climb up to the exposed space at the top end 109 and stand dry shutter inside this space, to disconnect and remove the old cable, pull in a new cable in the starting pipe and connect the new cable.
    Then mount the lid on the box and screw it on so that it is tight again.
    The present invention has been described above with the aid of a number of different embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It has tohowever, it will be appreciated that describedthe invention is not limited to the embodiments and to what is shown in the drawings, without also considering other embodiments within the scope of the invention as thedefined by the appended claims.
