  • Publication number: 20250230792
    Abstract: A wave energy capture system deployed in water converts mechanical motion induced by waves in the water to electrical energy. A controller of the wave energy capture system receives input regarding real-time wave conditions in a vicinity of the wave energy capture system. The controller applies a control model to the received input to select a value of a control parameter for the wave energy capture system, where the control model includes a model that has been trained using machine learning to take wave condition data as input and to output control parameter values selected based on the wave condition data in order to increase an amount of energy captured by the wave energy capture system. The controller implements the selected value of the control parameter on the wave energy capture system.

  • Patent number: 12345228
    Abstract: A wave energy capture system can include a plurality of arm assemblies. Each arm assembly includes a floatation device and an arm that is coupled to the floatation device and to a body via a pivot. The arm assemblies independently pivot around the pivots with respect to the body in response to movement of the floatation devices caused by waves in water. A mechanical energy capture system converts the independent pivoting of the plurality of arm assemblies around the pivots to electrical energy and provides the electrical energy to either an electronic device that is electrically coupled to the mechanical energy capture system to power the electronic device, or to a battery to recharge the battery.
