  • Wave and wind power generation
    Patent number: 8129852
    Abstract: A wave and wind power generation system including a platform and one or more oscillating water columns (OWC's). Included is an airflow control mechanism, a controller and a motion sensor for detecting motion of the platform. Additionally, the controller controls the airflow control mechanism so as to at least partially arrest undesirable motion of the platform.
    Type: Grant

  • Wind and wave power generation
    Patent number: 8053916
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wind and wave power generation system including a platform (12) and a wind turbine (16) rotatably mounted on a tower (32) and provided with an actuator (34) for changing the yaw angle of the turbine blade (38) relative to said tower (32). The system further includes a sensor (118) for detecting at least yaw motion of the platform and a controller (56) for causing actuation of the actuator (34) to cause movement of the rotor so as to at least partially correct detected yaw motion.
