A wave energy converter (10) comprises an energy absorption unit (100) arranged to absorb energy generated by movements of water,a power smoothing unit (200), a power generation unit (300) and an energy storage device (5; 5b), these units being adapted to cooperate to achieve a smooth power output from the power generation unit. The power smoothing unit is arranged to accumulate energy from the energy absorption unit in the energy storage device when the energy absorption unit absorbs more power than the power generation unit generates and to release energy from the energy storage device to the power generation unit when the energy absorption unit absorbs less energy than the power generation unit generates. A first transmission device (2) is provided between the energy absorption unit (100) and the power smoothing unit(200)or the power generation unit (300), and adapted to transfer energy absorbed by the energy absorption unit to the power smoothing unit and/or the power generation unit. A second transmission device (4) is provided between the power smoothing unit (100) and the energy storage device (5; 5b), and adapted to transfer energy between the units, wherein the power smoothing unit (200) and the power generation unit (300) are located separately from the energy absorption unit (100). |
