A WAVE POWER PLANT

摘要

A wave power plant comprising a floating body (1 ), which is adapted to move under influence of waves, and an energy absorbing device (2), which includes a drum (10) adapted to receive a longitudinal tension member (3). The tension member (3) is adapted to rotate the drum (10) when the floating body (1 ) moves as a result of wave motion. The drum (10) is supported on the floating body (1 ) to follow its movements. The tension element (3) is at its opposite end attached to the sea bed (5). An electric or hydraulic spring is used to temporarily store energy.
