<p>A wave energy plant comprises a rotor 1 with at least one lever arm carrying a coupling body 3 e.g. a blade or Flettner rotor which is driven by wave movement. Strength of the coupling between the vane or rotor 3 and water movement is varied by controlling the angle of the blade, or the speed of the Flettner rotor, using an actuator 5. Coupling strength (referred to as circulation strength) is controlled according to the phase angle between the angular position of the blade 3 and the flow angle of wave movement. This control allows more stable and efficient operation in non-uniform waves.</p> |
