Oyster wave energy converter (original) (raw)
The Oyster is a hydro-electric wave energy device that uses the motion of ocean waves to generate electricity. It is made up of a Power Connector Frame (PCF), which is bolted to the seabed, and a Power Capture Unit (PCU). The PCU is a hinged buoyant flap that moves back and forth with movement of the waves. The movement of the flap drives two hydraulic pistons that feed high-pressured water to an onshore hydro-electric turbine, which drives a generator to make electricity. Oyster was stationed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) at its Billia Croo site in Orkney, Scotland until the company ceased trading in 2015.

| dbo:abstract | The Oyster is a hydro-electric wave energy device that uses the motion of ocean waves to generate electricity. It is made up of a Power Connector Frame (PCF), which is bolted to the seabed, and a Power Capture Unit (PCU). The PCU is a hinged buoyant flap that moves back and forth with movement of the waves.

Oyster was stationed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) at its Billia Croo site in Orkney, Scotland until the company ceased trading in 2015. Aquamarine Power installed Oyster at the EMEC in August 2009. On 20 November 2009, Oyster was officially launched and connected to the National Grid (UK) by the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond. Development work was started to build a more efficient and powerful second-generation device, Oyster 2. (en) Oyster (от англ. oyster — устрица) — крупнейший в мире волновой электрогенератор, то есть аппарат, вырабатывающий энергию из морских волн. Создан эдинбургской компанией при содействии специалистов из . Oyster представляет собой волновую электростанцию. Устанавливается недалеко от берега, на глубине порядка 10-16 метров. Поплавок, закреплённый на дне на мощных рычагах, раскачивается под действием пробегающих над ними волн и приводит в движение двухсторонний поршневой насос, который гонит морскую воду на берег по трубе, где она крутит ротор гидроэлектрогенератора. Первый экземпляр произведен 2009 году. Установлен на дне моря в районе Оркнейских островов в Европейском исследовательском центре морской энергии в середине ноября, и включён в потребительскую электросеть . (ru) |
