Method for operating a machine in a body of water moved by waves
摘要
<p>The method involves determining measurement variables at a relatively early time and calculating a variable characterizing a wave movement expected at another relatively late time on the basis of the former determined measurement variables. The machine is operated for taking into account the variable characterizing the wave movement expected at the latter relatively late time. The variable characterizing the wave movement expected at the latter, relatively late time is a speed field or a speed potential. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a computing unit for implementing method for operating a machine located in choppy waters; and (2) a wave energy converter for converting energy from a wave movement of a fluid into another form of energy.</p>
