SEA WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION UNIT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03B13/22 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to devices converting sea wave energy to potential water energy and finally to electric energy, and can be used as a main or additional electric power source for offshore facilities or onshore consumers. Device for sea wave energy conversion to electric power includes sea wave energy converter with an arm mounted on a joint, pump linked to the arm and connected to collector for water supplied to hydraulic turbine rotating generator. Converter of wave energy to pressure includes continuous hollow torus 1 or torus comprised by at least two elements connected by joints. Arms with flat or corrugated plates are attached by joints to torus 1 or its elements from below on rods. Pumps in quantity determined by plate size are installed between immobile brackets mounted on a rod, and the arms. Pressurised water collector is positioned in the centre of torus 1 and is attached to torus 1 by bracing wires.

EFFECT: device for sea wave energy conversion to electric energy, with easy installation and relocation without underwater works.
