摘要：An underwater wave energy converter (WEC) () has a piston () that reciprocatesup and down as recurring waves () pass over. Downward motion of the piston () drives therods or plungers () of a multiplicity of hydraulic jacks () to pressurize hydraulic fluid in anenergy conversion system. Ultimately, the energy conversion system powers one or

more hydraulic motors () that drive an electric generator () or multiple generators. Asensor system () detects characteristics of in-coming waves such as by detecting changesin pressure as in-coming waves () pass over the sensor system (). The sensors can bemounted on the ocean floor seaward from the WECs (), and a control computer system ()calculates characteristics of the in-coming waves such as wave height and speed data, anduses the data to control aspects of the WECs () and other components of the energyconversion system.
