Primary conversion in Non-Resonant Wave Energy Converter With Floating Buoy. Journal of Maritime Research: JMR, 16(2), 3-9. https://www.jmr.unican.es/index.php/jmr/article/view/490/6101697-404http://hdl.handle.net/2183/36905[Abstract] This paper studies one of the technical problems that occur in the process of moving from ”waves toelectricity” in floating wave buoys converters located near the coast: to maximize the product force bydisplacement. It is proposed a first converter stage only with mechanical elements of low inertia andabsence of fluids, showing the advantage of using a accumulator with spring to achieve high accelera-tions by means of a converter design suitable to mount the mentioned stage. A comparative analysis ismade with the most suitable tension for the springs according to the height of the waves provided at thelocation of the converter.eng©SEECMAR |All rights reservedWave energy converter (WEC)Wave energyRenewable energiesEnergy storageMoment of inertia decouplingjournal articleopen access
