Patent attributes
A wave power station for conversion and storage of energy from waves in an ocean or a sea includes a wave energy absorbing unit including a first floating body connected to a vertically hanging counterweight via a drive line and a drive wheel, a power generating unit including at least one power generation unit for conversion of wave energy, connected to a drive shaft, and a power accumulating unit including at least one power accumulator for storage of generated wave power. The power generating unit and the power accumulating unit are arranged in a second floating body firmly anchored under the first floating body to the ocean bed or sea bed. The drive line is connected to the at least one power generation unit via the drive wheel, and a coupling and transmission unit arranged on the drive shaft for driving of the at least one power generation unit via the up and down movements of the drive line in time with the wave movements.
