FIELD: construction.
SUBSTANCE: floating building of a wave-activated power plant comprises a floating box caisson. The box caisson is installed on the bottom of the water area. The caisson comprises an internal chamber partially filled with water. The chamber is connected with the water area by two opposite holes and is pneumatically connected to the power plant. Holes are arranged below the elevation of the lowest level of water in the water area and form a through channel in the chamber. The size of the cross section of the through channel provides for the possibility of its connection with the floating building of the tidal power plant for passage of water flow rate required for operation of a hydraulic power equipment of the tidal power plant. The device operation is based on conversion of energy of the air flow arising as a result of oscillation of a water column in the chamber, into electric energy. Additionally it becomes possible to send water and biomass via the floating building of the wave-activated power plant.
EFFECT: improved environmental parameters of an object and increased efficiency.
