Abstract
A wave power generation system comprises a heavy plate; an expansion pipe installed on a top of the heavy plate; a motion module installing on a top of the expansion pipe; a buoy installing on a top of the motion module, a top end of the motion module through the buoy and the top end connected to the buoy; and a motion control module having a base installing in the heavy plate; a driving unit installed in the base; and multiple blades coupled to the driving unit.
Claims6
A motion control module, for use in a wave power generation system with a heavy plate, said motion control module comprising:
- a base, installed in said heavy plate, said base comprising a via hole;
- a driving unit, installed in the base;
- and
- a plurality of blades, coupled to the driving unit,
- wherein the driving unit is configured to position said plurality of blades to adjustably close or open said via hole to change natural frequency of said wave power generation system to match wave periods of different months or seasons responsively, and consequently, enabling resonance to be optimized for achieving better power generating efficiency.
