In a Wave Energy Converter (WEC), the Power Take-off (PTO) mechanism does the energy conversion through a series of mechanical and electrical systems. The PTO system plays a major role in defining the WEC system's structural dynamics. Since the PTO system directly affects the efficiency of power conversion, it has a significant role to play in the annual energy production of the WEC system. This emphasizes the importance of selecting an appropriate PTO system for any WEC based on the working conditions and other related parameters. In this chapter, different types of PTO systems developed over the past few decades are discussed along with their corresponding advantages and shortcomings. On reading this chapter, the reader will get acquainted with different types of PTO mechanisms in existence and also gain an insight on when to use what type of PTO. |
