Energy converter for ocean waves and method for using thereof

A method for using an energy converter comprising one or more wave energy conversion devices implemented for converting an energy of ocean waves received thereat into electrical energy, the method comprises:

• arranging for the energy converter to include a buoyant platform having a peripheral edge region;
• mounting the one or more wave energy conversion devices around at least a portion of the peripheral edge region;
• configuring the buoyant platform together with its one or more wave energy conversion devices to exhibit at least one of a roll movement and a pitch movement when in use, wherein natural resonant frequencies of at least one of the roll movement and the pitch movement are matchable to a frequency of the ocean waves received at the energy converter;
• and
• configuring the one or more wave energy conversion devices to convert the energy of the ocean waves to oscillating water columns and further into air movements to drive a turbine and generator arrangement to generate electrical energy.
