<p>A system and a method of electric power generation utilizing sea wave energy are disclosed. A power generation station has the following key elements: one or many interconnected underwater water-accumulating tanks (T and 1), one or many turbines (5) and generators (6), air conduits (7) communicating the tanks (T and 1) with the atmosphere, and the pumps discharging the waste water out of the tanks (T and 1) to the surface. The pumps are operated by the buoys (9). The tanks (T and 1) are located on a large area of the seabed (2) or above the seabed, but below the water surface. The water from the sea is admitted into the tanks. The energy of the water coming into the tanks is used to produce electric power. The water is distributed among all interconnected tanks. Simultaneously the waste water in the tanks is being lifted onto the sea surface by piston or diaphragm pumps located at the surface utilizing wave motion. Discharging the water out of the tanks frees the space for new volumes of incoming water, while simultaneously generating electric power.</p> |
