Abstract: A method is disclosed for an innovative assembly of the electrical conditioning system connected to a water-based energy capturing device such as wave, hydrokinetic, or tidal machines to increase the efficiency of electrical power transmission between the energy capturing assembly and a load. The assembly favors the use of an active rectifier as the electrical conditioning system to provide both rectification and voltage regulation in a single system. The active rectifier can be configured to output a higher direct current (DC) bus voltage compared to passive rectifier solutions that both decrease the required size of the transmission cable conductors and transmission losses.

Abstract: A mobile power conditioning system that does not require a battery comprises an energy-capturing assembly and a power conditioner. The energy-capturing assembly converts captured energy into an electric-power input. The power conditioner comprises an input terminal, a primary-output terminal, a controller and a secondary output terminal. The power conditioner receives the electrical power input and delivers a conditioned electrical power output. The primary-output terminal is configured to receive and transfer part or all of the conditioner output to a primary load. The controller regulates the transfer of an un-transferred portion of the conditioner output to the secondary output terminal so that an aggregated draw from the first output terminal and the second output terminal is less than or equal to the conditioner output. The secondary output terminal is configured to transfer the un-transferred portion of the electrical power input to a secondary load.
