FLOAT-TYPE WAVE POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03B13/22 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: float-type wave power plant includes a housing with chambers filled with liquid and connected with a channel, two floats located symmetrically relative to its axis, a turbine located in the channel on one axis with an electric generator and connected to it. The power plant is provided with a tail fin stabilising its position relative to a vertical, two side floats attached to the housing and located on its different sides along the housing axis, which stabilise the power plant position relative to incoming wave front, and float movement limit stops located on the housing. The chambers are corrugated and located on the housing symmetrically relative to the axis. Two floats located symmetrically relative to the housing axis are rigidly attached to each other so that they can be rotated about the axis and attached to upper parts of the corrugated chambers, at the tension and compression of which a provision is made for passage of liquid via the channel, inside which the turbine is located.

EFFECT: increasing efficiency of a plant and providing a possibility of automatic orientation of the plant relative to a front of incoming waves.
