摘要： An offshore platform includes a support structure for supporting a workstation in a body of water at an offshore location. The support structure has a mounting formation and at least one duct is mounted to the mounting formation. The duct is configured to receive an oscillating water column from the body of water wherein oscillations of the oscillating water column generate a fluid flow for driving an energy extraction module.

摘要： In an oscillating water column (OWC) assembly power may be generated based on a power reference that is derived from an estimate of the available mechanical power in the air turbine 2 or a measured pressure drop across the turbine. The power reference is used to derive a power control torque reference within a power controller 14. A speed controller 16 uses a comparison of a measured speed of the generator 8 and a maximum speed limit to derive a speed control torque reference. A selector function 22 selects whichever of the power control and speed control torque references is the maximum at any time instant. The selected torque reference is input to an anti stall torque function 24 where it is selectively modified by applying a speed dependent gain that decreases with decreasing turbine speed, preferably so that the main torque reference is zero for a minimum speed limit.

摘要： Since a normal turbine will not rotate in one direction with a bidirectional force, this turbine uses two turbines back to back to rectify this force. When the flow comes in one direction the turbine will present one face, when the flow reverses direction the turbine will present the other face. This is so because of this back to back design of this turbine. Each blade of this turbine has one side with a pitch angle but the back side of the blade has 0 degrees pitch that is it is flat. In other words the flat side of each blade will be facing each other and the pitch side of each blade will be facing outward. When seen from the top this back to back blade has a separation between the flat sides of the blades. This is so they will have less resistance with the air when rotating.

摘要翻译： 由于普通涡轮机不能以双向力在一个方向上旋转，所以该涡轮机使用两个涡轮背靠背来矫正该力。 当流向一个方向时，涡轮机将呈现一个面，当流动反转方向时，涡轮将呈现另一个面。 这是因为这种涡轮机的背靠背设计。 该涡轮机的每个叶片具有俯仰角的一侧，但是叶片的后侧具有0度的间距，就是平坦的。 换句话说，每个叶片的平坦面将彼此面对，并且每个叶片的节距侧将面向外。 当从顶部看时，该背对背叶片在叶片的平坦侧面之间具有分离。 这是因为它们在旋转时具有较小的空气阻力。

摘要： The invention provides a device for extracting energy from a fluid flow. The device has an air compression chamber and an array of valves, operable to open and close to regulate flow of the fluid through associated valve apertures. The valves are operable to close progressively as the fluid flow is incident thereon, thereby focusing flow of the liquid towards the air compression chamber and compressing air therein. The valves also open on a return flow of liquid from the compression chamber.
