A wave energy conversion system uses a pair of wave energy converters or WECs (311, 313) on respective active mountings on a floating platform (315), so that the separation of the WECs (311, 313) from each other or from a central WEC (312) can be actively adjusted according to the wavelength of incident waves. The adjustable separation facilitates operation of the system (300) to cancel reactive forces, which may be generated during wave energy conversion. Modules on which such pairs of WECs (311, 313) are mounted can be assembled with one or more central WECs to form large clusters in which reactive forces and torques can be made to cancel. WECs (311, 312, 313) of different sizes can be employed to facilitate cancelation of reactive forces and torques. |
