Abstract
A mooring device for a wave energy conversion apparatus includes a three-dimensional beam structure which houses the wave energy conversion apparatus and which includes two elements for rotoidal coupling to the energy conversion apparatus by wave motion spaced apart and defining an axis of rotation for the same apparatus. The device also includes an anchoring component fixed to the three-dimensional beam structure.
Claims7
A mooring device for a wave energy conversion apparatus, the mooring device comprising:
- a three-dimensional beam structure which houses the wave energy conversion apparatus and which comprises two elements for rotational coupling to the wave energy conversion apparatus which are spaced apart from each other, defining a rotation axis for the same apparatus;
- the rotoidal coupling elements allowing for the rotation of the apparatus with respect to the axis;
- and
- anchoring means, fixed to the three-dimensional beam structure, configured for the connection of mooring lines.
