The Ensuring of Survivability of Wave Energy Stations Constructive Elements in Extreme Weather Conditions
Abstract
Current problems and the tasks of increasing the reliability of the equipment designs for utilizing the energy of sea waves are described in the article. The requirements for the protection of float and buoy structures from storm impacts by immersing them in undisturbed water layers using rotary engines articulated with a wave power station are formulated. Ways to protect wave converters from storm impacts are proposed.
