SYSTEM FOR CONVERSION OF THE WHOLE KINETIC ENERGY OF SEA WAVE INTO ELECTRICITY BY ONE-WAY DIRECT DRIVE SHAFT CONVERTER, (ODSC SYSTEM)

摘要

ODSC system is a system for conversion of the whole kinetic energy of sea wave, both in propagation and oscillation direction, into electricity. The ODSC system comprises 2 main structures, a tower and a floating power plant. A tower is utilized as a site station and a pivot of the floating power plant. The floating power plant with a triangle based pyramid framework keeps afloat along with the sea tide and always turns its front toward to the wave propagation direction. This self-alignment maximizes effectiveness of energy conversion by ODSC converter installed in the floating power plant. The ODSC converter comprises 3 main structures, a plurality of attenuators, a one-way clutch and meshing gear system, and a drive shaft, wherein the whole kinetic energy of the sea wave is captured, transformed, converted and integrated together into a powerful one-way driving torque. The powerful torque then drives an electric generation system directly. The electricity then is transmitted ashore via a submarine power cable.
