CONVERTER AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING MECHANICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY

摘要

Disclosed is a converter comprising a pump which is indirectly or directly driven by a natural force, e.g. waves, and by means of which a hydraulic machine can be driven. Said hydraulic machine is coupled to an electric machine via a drive train. The electric machine can act as a generator or motor. According to the invention, the adjustment angle of the hydraulic machine is regulated by means of a control loop in accordance with oscillation parameters of the natural force, the drive train being decelerated or accelerated by intervening in the controller of the electric machine in order to allow the tapped power to be smoothed.
