ENERGY HARVESTING SYSTEM FOR OCEAN WAVES

摘要

Disclosed is an energy harvesting system for ocean waves. The energy harvesting system includes each of a buoyant platform and a plurality of wave energy harvesting units. The buoyant platform is configured to float above the ocean bed. Further, each wave energy harvesting unit may be tethered between the buoyant platform and the ocean bed. Additionally, a wave energy harvesting unit may be configured to be actuated by motion of the buoyant platform. Accordingly, the wave energy harvesting unit may absorb energy from the buoyant platform's movement resulted from the ocean waves.
