Adaptive hydraulic pressure generator

A method for controlling an adaptive hydraulic pressure generator in systems in which the mechanical force producing energy varies significantly, especially in wave energy systems, the pressure generator comprising at least two fluid chambers with a piston surface/displacement surface, which piston surface/displacement surface and fluid chamber are arranged to reciprocate with respect to one another, said mechanical force acting on the piston surface/displacement surface and/or on a body forming the fluid chamber, whereby the piston surface/displacement surface acts on the fluid in the chamber by means of the said mutual reciprocating movement, which pressure generator is arranged to produce a pressure exceeding a certain threshold pressure in the fluid supplied to the application, wherein in the method, the pressure produced by the pressure generator in the pressure duct is measured, which pressure value is entered in the control logic of a control valve system connected to the pressure generator, which performs a primary algorithm on the basis of which the control logic connects the chambers in such a way that the effective area of the piston surfaces/displacement surfaces changes in such a way that the pressure produced by the pressure generator in the fluid conducted to the application exceeds the threshold pressure.

An adaptive hydraulic pressure generator for systems in which the force producing energy varies significantly, especially for wave energy systems, which pressure generator comprises at least two fluid chamber units, which pressure generator is arranged to produce a pressure exceeding a certain threshold pressure in the fluid supplied to the application, wherein the pressure generator is implemented as a hydraulic torque pressure generator which comprises at least one fluid chamber unit with two or more fluid chambers, and to which torque pressure generator is supplied torque by a rotary motion;

• and that the pressure generator is equipped with a control system which is arranged to connect the fluid chambers to one another and/or to different fluid ducts in such a way that the effective radian volume of the fluid chambers changes in accordance with the rotary movement producing a moment in the pressure generator in such a way that the pressure produced by the pressure generator in the fluid supplied to the application exceeds the threshold pressure.
