WAVE ENERGY EXTRACTION SYSTEM USING AN OSCILLATING WATER COLUMN ATTACHED TO THE COLUMNS OF AN OFFSHORE PLATFORM

摘要

An offshore platform includes a support structure for supporting a workstation in a body of water at an offshore location. The support structure has a mounting formation and at least one duct is mounted to the mounting formation. The duct is configured to receive an oscillating water column from the body of water wherein oscillations of the oscillating water column generate a fluid flow for driving an energy extraction module.
