Abstract
This invention relates to a tidal adjustment arrangement for a wave energy recovery system where the wave energy recovery system comprising at least a body (2), a wing (3a) hinged at its lower edge onto the body (2) to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents and a power-take-off (PTO) means (3b). The arrangement comprises at least a support means (6) capable to change the vertical position of the wing (3a).
Claims20
A wave energy recovery system comprising:
- a body,
- a wing hinged at its lower edge onto the body to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents;
- a power-take-off means;
- and
- a support means capable of changing a vertical position of an upper edge of the wing by changing the length of the wing from the lower edge to the upper edge.
