Point absorber convertors, waves, renewable energy, hydraulic system, efficiencyAbstract
This study aims to expose the role of point absorber converters and how these converters use wave energy to create electricity. Starting from general information about converters, the study aims to classify them according to constructive criteria and define the mode of operation of one point absorber converter. The provisions presented in this studio represent the current state of point absorber convertors, helping to understand and increase the utility of these equipment.
