摘要 |
The invention concerns a method of operating a wave energy converter (1) for converting energy from a wave movement of an undulatory body of water, the wave movement having a propagation direction, the wave energy converter (1) comprising a lever arm (4), which is mounted so as to rotate about a rotor rotational axis (x) and bears a coupling body (3), and an energy converter (2, 7) which is coupled to the rotatably mounted lever arm (4). The wave energy converter (1) is aligned relative to the wave movement such that, during operation, the rotor rotational axis (x) forms an angle (&phgr;) which is not 90° with the propagation direction of the wave movement. |
