Abstract: This invention relates to a tidal adjustment arrangement for a wave energy recovery system where the wave energy recovery system comprising at least a body (2), a wing (3a) hinged at its lower edge onto the body (2) to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents and a power-take-off (PTO) means (3b). The arrangement comprises at least a support means (6) capable to change the vertical position of the wing (3a).

Abstract: This invention relates to an arrangement in a wave energy recovery system comprising at least a wing element hinged on its one edge to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents, a wave energy recovery means having a space alterable by its volume with the help of a connection rod making a reciprocating movement caused by the wing element At least the sealings and/or through holes between the space and the connection rod are protected against seawater.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for installing and servicing an apparatus module recovering the kinetic energy of water; and the apparatus module itself. The apparatus module with wave energy recovering units is descended into the sea bottom and is kept steady at the sea bottom by the help of its own mass and the mass of the water filled into a plurality of soft and hard compartments and valve compartments in the body of the apparatus module. Correspondingly the apparatus module is lifted into the surface of the water and made floating by the help of air that is blown to the plurality of soft and hard compartments and the valve compartments in order to replace the water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for desalination of seawater, the method comprising at least conducting the seawater into a distillation container, vaporizing the seawater, condensing formed vapor into distilled water, and conducting said distilled water by the help of a pump into further use. In the method the seawater is heated and the vapor is condensed by the help of a heating and cooling means comprising at least a compressor, a hot circuit and a cold circuit. At least the energy for vaporizing the seawater, for condensing formed vapor into distilled water, and for conducting said distilled water by the help of a pump into further use is taken from the kinetic energy of the waves.

Abstract: This invention relates to an arrangement for a surface area adjustment of a reciprocating wing system in a wave energy recovery system where the wave energy recovery system comprises at least a body, a set of wings fastened to a support means that is hinged at its lower ends onto the body to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents, and a power-take-off means. The arrangement comprises at least adjustment means capable to adjust the total effective surface area of the wings.

Abstract: This invention relates to a wave energy recovery system comprising at least a wing hinged on its one edge to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents, a wave energy converter (WEC) unit, a power-take-off (PTO) means and wave behavior monitoring means. The wave energy recovery system comprises at least a control means to instruct the PTO means to resist the reciprocating movement of the wing by a counter moment.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for installing and servicing an apparatus module (1) recovering the kinetic energy of water; and the apparatus module (1) itself. The apparatus module (1) with wave energy recovering units (3) is descended into the sea bottom (12) and is kept steady at the sea bottom (12) by the help of its own mass and the mass of the water filled into the compartments (2a and 2c) in the body (2) of the apparatus module (1). Correspondingly the apparatus module (1) is lifted into the surface of the water and made floating by the help of air that is blown to the compartments (2a) and (2c) in order to replace the water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for utilising wave energy. In the method, the reciprocating movement of a water mass (5) in the vicinity of the bottom (6) of a water basin is adapted to actuate a body (2) or its part attached to the bottom of the water basin, the kinetic energy of the body (2) or its part being recovered into an energy reserve (3), and the energy being transferred from the energy reserve to the object of application. The invention also relates to the apparatus (1) used in the method.
