Latest Patents

**Floating Oscillating Water Column-Type Wave Energy Power Generation.** This invention describes a floating wave-energy apparatus with a runner chamber, nozzle, flow-guiding cone, impeller, generator, and protective cap. The cone is designed to guide airflow and increase its speed through the apparatus, supporting power generation from wave-driven air movement.

**Indirect Hydraulic Load Hierarchical Control System and Method for Wave Energy Device.** This system uses groups of hydraulic cylinders, energy accumulators, generators, and pressure-detection controls. By comparing accumulator pressure with preset levels, it controls valves to load or unload hydraulic components automatically, helping a wave energy device operate at full load or at an optimal energy-conversion efficiency.
