Subsea system for energy capture on floating platforms

Abstract

This application relates to a system for generating energy from the heave motion of risers on floating platforms. In particular, it is noted that the described system comprises a pair of split belts (1.3) where at least one capture and conversion module is fixed, wherein the capture and conversion module comprises: an articulated vane (10) composed of a shovel (1) and a rigid rod (1.1), a motion conversion unit (20), an electric generator (3), a protective housing (5), a metal chassis (1.2) for fixing at least one capture and conversion module; and an electric accumulator module (40) connected to the at least one capture and conversion module, wherein the electric accumulator module comprises: a control unit (60) and one or more electric accumulators (50).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
