POWER CONVERTING APPARATUS

摘要

A power converting apparatus that may increase a generation efficiency by receiving a power from a power source, producing electricity by rotating an output shaft connected to a generator using a portion of the received power, accumulating a remaining portion of the received power in an energy storage device, and rotating the output shaft using the accumulated energy when a power is not transmitted from the power source, the power source that floats in the ocean, performs irregular motions in vertical and horizontal directions by waves within a predetermined range, and generates an intermittent linear power, is provided.

1. A power converting apparatus comprising:
a first tensile force transmitting member configured to receive a tensile force in response to motion of a buoyant body by being connected to the buoyant body floating in the ocean; and a generator configured to generate a power in response to motion of the buoyant body by being driven by a tensile force applied to the first tensile force transmitting member, wherein the first tensile force transmitting member is connected to the buoyant body to receive all the vertical linear motion of the buoyant body, the lateral linear motion of the buoyant body, and the rotational motion of the buoyant body.
