PeWEC, acronym of Pendulum Wave Energy Converter, in which the assigned system to the energy generation consists by a group of pendulums that through their oscillating motion, determined by hull’s dynamic, transmit a force to PTO, who generates electric energy.
PeWEC is initially aiming at lower energetic closed seas with lower-period waves (e.g., the Mediterranean Sea). When the device is moved by the waves, a relative motion between the hull and the internal pendulum is obtained, mostly due to the pitching motion.
