CONTEXT – Mumbai – India View from The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel view of the “spine” system main VERTEBRA DETAIL _ structural development main VERTEBRA DETAIL _ joints SYSTEM _ energy pruduction WAVES POWER _ Pelamis Wave Energy Converter The Pelamis Wave Energy Converter is a semi-submerged, articulated structure composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints. The wave-induced motion of these joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure fluid through hydraulic motors via smoothing accumulators. The hydraulic motors drive electrical generators to produce electricity. Power from all the joints is fed down a single umbilical cable to a junction on the sea bed. Several devices can be connected together and linked to shore through a single seabed cable.
