  • Patent number: 12135005
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an array including at least ten wave power converters and at least one marine substation, each wave energy converter including a floating body, a wire, a housing anchored in a seabed or lakebed, the housing including a stator and a seesawing translator. The seesawing translator is connected via the wire to the floating body and each of the at least ten wave power converters is electrically connected to the marine substation. The at least ten wave energy converters are arranged on a symmetric, open, concave line, where a symmetry axis is at least more or less parallel to a primary wave direction and where the marine substation is arranged on the symmetry axis.

  • Publication number: 20230213015
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for determining the arrangement of wave energy converters in a wave power park in a seabed or lake area including the steps of: measuring wavelength and wave direction over a period of time, collecting all values measured for the wavelength and the wave direction in a matrix, statistically determining, from the matrix, a predominant wavelength and a predominant wave direction, and arranging an amount X of wave energy converters at regular intervals over a distance that corresponds to half of the length of the predominant wavelength or a multiple thereof, where the distance is measured in a direction at least more or less parallel to the predominant wave direction.
