    WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 ENERGY PLANT AND PARTS OF AN ENERGY PLANT Field of invention 5 The invention pertains to underwater energy plants utilizing water movement due to e.g. waves, tide or stream. The invention also relates parts of such a plant, namely an underwater wing for capturing energy of water movement, apparatus to convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy, and a connector for transfer 10 ring the electrical energy. Background technology 15 A prior art solution for providing a wave energy plant is disclosed in document W02004/097212. The wave energy plant has two or more production units and the water mass of the water basin is adapted to actuate production units or their parts submersed at the bottom of the water basin. The production units are used for transforming the kinetic energy of the water mass into other form of energy like 20 electric energy, mechanical energy or pressure of an intermediate agent. Certain problems are related to the prior art wave energy plants. Any profile in flow causes forces due to increased pressure on the flow side and decreased pressure (suction) on the other side. The suction is more important, causing typi 25 cally up to 2/3 of the pressure forces. Underwater flaps as presented in WO 2004/097212 Al utilize stagnation pressure against a plate-like body. It develops overpressure to the front/flow side of the plate but the more important suction on the opposite side does not develop effectively because there is no increased flow velocity along the opposite surface. In addition, the flow around the side edges 30 (see 4 of the enclosed Figure 2) causes turbulence and reduces the small back side suction even further. When the plate turns down from vertical position the flow direction turns away from the normal of the surface, thus reducing the pres sure difference development even further. Also in case of angle of attack of flow not being straight against the axis line of plate, flow around the leading edge re 35 duces the efficiency even further. When energy of water movement is captured to moving surfaces like planes or wings, or floating volumes like buoys, there is a problem of very slow speed with WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 2 high forces. Therefore straight drive generators would be extremely large machin ery due to magnetic saturation and increase of speed is needed. This is usually provided with separate hydraulics. Current hydraulic transmission systems in bot tom or intermediate water have long pipework lines with flexible hoses and sever 5 al connectors and valves. This causes following problems: -The flow resistance heats up the hydraulic fluid which needs to be cooled in sep arate coolers or cooling lines which in turn add more flow resistance to the sys tem. -Increased flow resistance cuts the system's ability to react to and capture transi 10 ent energy peaks. Dimensioning according to these peaks would make system oversized for average use and with average duty dimensioning pressure has to be released with pressure limiting valves thus loosing provided energy. -Long lines make efficient use of hydraulic accumulators difficult. -All components and lines also add space requirements and size, thus increasing 15 costs. -Generator systems regularly stopping and restarting with waves cause harmful peaks to mains network lowering the usability of entire plants. The underwater electric connections are done with technology known from dry 20 environment and they are therefore impractical in underwater environment. They are also impossible to connect/disconnect while generators are running. Making high power connections in wet environment by divers, remotely operated under water vehicles or other remote equipment is also too risky because of possible electric leaks and shortages. Therefore replacing non-functional units is very cost 25 ly and requires shutdown of entire plant. As a consequence, the systems are very difficult to maintain on site as would be preferred. 30 Summary of the invention The object of the invention is to provide new solutions for providing an energy plant and parts of an energy plant for utilizing water movement, with which the problems of the prior art energy plants can be avoided or reduced. 35 According to one aspect of the invention the object is achieved with an underwa ter wing of an energy plant for capturing energy from water movements into recip rocating motion of the wing, which is characterised in that the wing has a non- WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 3 planar profile. The wing profile has preferably such a form that high lift with low friction is achieved. According to another aspect of the invention the object is achieved with a con 5 verter for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy in an energy plant utilizing water movement, which converter is characterised in that the converter is a hinge-type converter comprising a cover and a shaft within the cover, which shaft and cover can rotate in relation to each other, the converter further compris ing: 10 - a mechanical or hydraulic transmission for increasing the relative speed of rota tion; and - an electric generator driven by said rotation. According to further aspect of the invention the object is achieved with a connect 15 or for transmission of electrical energy in underwater environment, which con nector is characterised in that the connector comprises means for transferring electrical energy using magnetic induction between two halves of the connector, wherein the connector has a ferromagnetic core, which is split into two parts, one in each of the connector halves, which are at least partially closed in watertight 20 housings. According to further aspect of the invention the object is achieved with an energy plant utilizing water movements caused by water waves, tide or currents for providing electrical energy, comprising at least one energy production unit, the 25 energy production unit comprising an underwater wing for capturing mechanical energy from water movements into reciprocating motion of the wing, and an ener gy converter for converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy when the underwater wing applies a rotational force to the converter, which energy plant is characterised in that the production unit comprises at least one of: 30 - an underwater wing according to the invention; - a hinge-type energy converter according to the invention; and - an induction connector according to the invention. Some preferable embodiments of the invention are described in dependent 35 claims. According to one embodiment of the invention the profile form of the underwater wing is symmetric or asymmetric. According to a further embodiment the asym- WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 4 metric wing profile has two leading edges mirrored as this structure is preferably used in wave energy plants where the flow has reciprocating direction. A symmet ric wing profile is preferably used in tide or river streams where the flow direction is constant for a long time and the reciprocal movement of the wing is achieved by 5 adjusting the angle of attack by turning the wings around their support axis, for example. The wing preferably has a form where water flow causes forces according to reac tion principle, as known from e.g. reaction turbines. Such a wing has a profile in 10 which a flowing water causes reaction forces that are larger than action forces, which are known from e.g. impulse turbines. More particularly, wing profiles of the plant preferably have such forms and are in such positions that the force compo nent caused by the water flow on the wing profile is smaller in the direction of the of the water flow than the force component in the direction which is orthogonal to 15 the direction of the water flow. In other words, lift force caused by the water flow is higher than force caused by stagnating pressure. The form and position of the wing is preferably optimized so that the lift force provides maximum energy from the water flow with minimum drag. In another embodiment of the invention the sur face angle of attack of the wing is adjustable by turning it around support axis. 20 The wing is preferably arranged to provide reciprocating movement in a direction which is closer to a plane which is orthogonal to the water flow than to the direc tion of the water flow. Accordingly, the rotating axis of the wing has a direction which is closer to the direction of the water flow than to a plane which is orthogo 25 nal to the water flow. Most preferably, the wing moves in a plane which is orthog onal to the water flow direction and the axis of rotation has the direction of the wa ter flow. In one embodiment of the invention the converter has either the cover or shaft ro 30 tationally fixed and the other part rotating. In another embodiment the converter has a connection for an underwater wing for using water movement to cause rotat ing force to the hinge-type converter. In a further embodiment the converter has means for turning a wing to a preferred position. 35 According to one embodiment the converter has hydraulic transmission compris ing a high pressure accumulator without pipework built into the shaft to enable re ceiving high energy peaks and to regulate power production. According to another WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 5 embodiment the converter a hydraulic transmission comprising low pressure ac cumulator keeping positive pressure in the system. In one embodiment the converter has mechanical transmission, which comprises 5 one or more epicyclic gear stages. In a further embodiment the converter is au tonomous and has a bilge pump, a sealing flushing pump and/or a hydraulic fluid return pump. In another embodiment the converter is tethered and has external hydraulic fluid recirculation with filtering and leak removal. 10 In one embodiment of the invention the converter is remote controlled. According to one embodiment the housings of inductive connector halves are be fixed together in coupling the connector. In a further embodiment the connector is rated for higher frequency than mains frequency. 15 In one embodiment of the invention the energy plant comprises several adjacent production units, which have underwater wings with asymmetric profiles, wherein the profiles are installed right handed or left handed in relation to the water flow direction, and the underwater wings of two successive production units are oppo 20 site handed. In a further embodiment the converters of the production units are attached to a non-rotating foundation giving support to the stationary part of converter at the bottom, submerged or above the water surface. 25 In one embodiment of the invention actuator surface angle of attack is adjustable by turning it around support axis. In a further embodiment the wing profiles are in such a position that the wing profile forces are caused by pressure differences caused by flow velocity differences on different sides of the profile. The flow ve 30 locity is preferably higher at the back side of the wing than at the front side of the wing, seen from the direction of coming water flow. In one embodiment of the invention the actuator is turned around its support axis between two positions, a first position is used for the movement of the actuator to 35 a first direction and the second position is used for the movement of the actuator to a second, opposite direction, whereby energy of a stream flowing in constant direction can be utilized. This way the inventive solution can be used in tide and river streams, for example.
    WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 6 List of drawings In the following the invention is described with help of the enclosed drawings, in which: 5 Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary energy plant according to the invention; Figure 2 illustrates a prior art underwater plate, and two exemplary underwater wings according to the invention; 10 Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of an exemplary hinge-type energy con verter according to the invention which includes a mechanical gear; Figure 4 illustrates a perspective view of an exemplary hinge-type energy con 15 verter according to the invention which includes a mechanical gear; Figure 5 illustrates an end view of an exemplary generator of a converter ac cording to the invention; 20 Figure 6 illustrates a perspective view of an exemplary electric connector pair according to the invention. Figure 7 illustrates a cross section view of an exemplary electric connector pair according to the invention. 25 Detailed description of exemplary embodiments Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an energy plant according to the 30 invention. The energy plant has a matrix of energy production units, each com prising an underwater wing 9, 10, 11, a hinge-type energy converter 12 and an in ductive connector 46 which connected to the generator of the converter with a ca ble. With remote control, an underwater wing or plate can be turned to preferred position. The direction of the water flow is marked with arrow 8. The wings prefer 35 ably move so that their position alternates between both sides of the vertical posi tion. The efficiency is highest at the vertical position of the wing, and getting lower when the wing gets more apart from the vertical position. This is e.g. because the water flow is smaller at the vicinity of the bottom.
    WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 7 Figure 2 illustrates a prior art underwater plate 3, and two exemplary embodi ments of an underwater wing 5, 7 according to the invention. The prior art plate has a surface with a planar shape, whereby the wings according to the invention 5 have a surface of non-planar shape. The form of a wing according to the invention can be wing profile, such as used in propellers, for example. The flow at the suc tion side travels a longer distance, causing the decrease in pressure and an effec tive suction, whereby the velocity is reduced at the front side causing an over pressure. The wing thus has a form where water flow mainly causes forces ac 10 cording to reaction principle, as known from e.g. reaction turbines, instead of ac tion/stagnation forces, as known from e.g. impulse turbines. The wing according to the inventive embodiment includes more efficient actuator surfaces. It is a profile turned approximately along the flow 1 caused by e.g. 15 waves 2, tide or river, to generate forces with both the overpressure and suction on different sizes of the profile. The angle of attack is preferably adjustable, see 6 in Fig 2 and 11 in Fig 1, to adapt to various directions of flow without remarkable reduction in efficiency. 20 As generally known, majority of pressure induced forces develop at the leading half of any profile. Therefore, one embodiment of the profile according to the in vention has two mirrored leading edges. The wing profile can be symmetric, sides being mirror images of each other as in 25 profile 7. Opposite ends can have different shapes according to flow conditions in each direction. This solution is preferred for constant or long term flow from same direction when oscillating movement is caused by adjusting the angle of attack be tween two positions: a first position is used for providing movement of the wing in a first direction, and a second position is used for providing movement of the wing 30 in a second, opposite direction. This way it is possible to use the inventive solu tion in tide and river stream generators, for example. The wing profile can also be asymmetric, having different shapes on left and right side as in profile 5. Opposite ends can have different shapes according to flow 35 conditions in each direction. This solution is preferred for naturally oscillating flow like waves. A wing may also be comprised of a set of ribs instead of one uniform part.
    WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 8 Angle of attack can also be adjustable to maximize the rotating moment on the hinge, optimizing energy capture in different flow speeds and flow direction varia tions. In case of using asymmetric profiles, it is beneficial to use downstream of flow 8, Fig 1, alternately right 9 and left 10 handed profiles to increase the power 5 output from adjacent wing rows. On both profiles, it should be noted that the angle of attack and profile can vary along the wing due to flow speed differences along it. The angle of attack of the wings is preferably higher near to the converter, due to the smaller speed of water 10 flow, than at the distant end from the converter. This can be arranged in the per manent form of the wings, or dynamical control. The dynamic adjustment of the angle of attack can thus be done either by rotating the entire profile or parts of it. On areas where average flow (constant or reciprocating) has near constant direc 15 tion, the units can be mounted stationary. On areas where direction of flow can change remarkably like waves coming in due to different weather conditions in spring and autumn storms, the units can be mounted on lockable carousel founda tions. Their orientation is then adjustable according to the main expected flow di rection. 20 If average flow direction is not known, it can be measured either with external sensors and direction data being fed into the units or with local pressure or flow sensors on the wing or hinge foundation. This measurement is not essential, the units can sense average flow by searching for angle of attack which causes the 25 wing to remain in vertical position. In reciprocating flow, e.g. waves, the wing can be adjusted to constant angle of at tack. It is however beneficial to do minor adjustments to the angle of attack during rotation, to maximize the hinge turning moment. This can be done either accord 30 ing to prescribed angular data or by searching for maximum moment with small temporary variations in angle of attack. The turning moment is measured from shear deformation with strain gauges on the stationary part of the hinge and/or pressure sensor on the hydraulic fluid. 35 In almost stationary flow, angle of attack is adjusted to both sides of neutral angle causing the wing to stand in vertical position. In this case, the angle of attack has to be changed at the end of each movement to reverse the rotation. Small adjust- WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 9 ments to angle of attack during rotation is beneficial and will be done as in resiprocating case. Figures 3-5 illustrate an exemplary embodiments of a hinge-type energy converter 5 according to the invention. The converter of Figure 3 has a mechanical gear, and the converter of Figure 4 has a hydraulic gear. The hinge-type converter includes a transmission increasing rotational speed to drive electricity generator rotor 13. Transmission can be done with either single or multiple gears stages 14, or using hydraulic drive as shown in Figure 4. Epicyclic stages are preferred due to their 10 long life and force balance. Rotor is attached to the fastest rotating stage, in the shown arrangement to 2nd stage sun gear 15. Stator 16 is attached to stationary part of hinge, being cover 17 in the shown arrangement. It should be noted that either the shaft or cover can be arranged to be stationary, the other being rotating member. Electricity is converted to DC, and chopped to correct voltage and fre 15 quency with inverter 18. Bilge pump 19 in Fig 3 and 43 in Fig 4 can be mechani cally or electrically driven. A flushing pump 20 soaks up water through filter 21 to create rinsing flow to outermost sealing. In hydraulic hinge-type converter, the shaft 22, Fig 4, includes the high pressure 20 fluid volume 23 with gas bladder 24 forming a hydraulic accumulator thus ena bling the high pressure side to receive temporarily high flow peaks through inlet valves 25 from chambers 26. No pipework or hoses are needed, thus reducing radically the high pressure flow friction. 25 Low pressure volume can be arranged into the shaft 27 or around it, depending on the arrangement. Being in the shaft, the hydraulic fluid is fed to the expanding chambers 34 directly through valves 28. Low pressure volume includes also a gas bladder 29 to compensate for volume changes keeping positive pressure against surrounding water. It should be noted, that either the shaft or the cover can be the 30 stationary member, and the other one being the rotating one. In rotating cover arrangement, a hydraulic motor or turbine 30 running an electric generator rotor 31 can be either inside of the shaft next to the high pressure vol ume, or between the shaft and cover as shown. In stationary cover arrangement, 35 the generator is preferably located between the shaft and cover, although other location, such as inside the shaft, is possible. Generator stator 32 is attached to the fixed part of hinge.
    WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 10 The shaft, the cover, the transmission and the generator are preferably arranged coaxial in the converter in order to facilitate the integration of the assembly. A possible additional use for the hinge is in producing pressurized hydraulic fluid 5 to external generation unit with local accumulators filtering the power peaks thus regulating flow. Pressure accumulators are pressurized with a fluid which boils in the functional pressure and temperature, thus keeping accumulator pressure con stant. One such fluid is carbon dioxide. 10 Hydraulic fluid is pressurized in variable volume chambers between the shaft and cover 26, Fig 5. There are 1 or more chamber pairs separated by vanes 33, every second attached to the shaft and the others to the cover. Seeking for long and re liably function, the arrangement is symmetric having two or more chamber pairs. Hydraulic fluid is cooled through the cover wall. 15 Bilge pumping and sealing rinsing is arranged with channel, pumps and piping as in Fig 3. Hydraulic fluid leakage is fed back to system with pump through channel and pipe 35. Electricity generated with the generator is converted to DC, then chopped to suit 20 able voltage and frequency for further transfer with inverter. External connections (electrical power line, remote sensing and controls) are attached to stationary parts of hinges. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of an induction connector ac 25 cording to the invention. Using an induction connector 46 units can be safely con nected to and separated from plant feeding network while running. Cable from production unit comes to watertight penetrator 44 and cable to production energy collecting point goes from watertight penetrator 45. Connector is preferably equipped with quick fixing clamps 41. The connector consists of two parts each 30 consisting one half of ferromagnetic core 36 which have windings for production unit 37 and plant collecting cable 38. Cores are enclosed in watertight housings 39 and 40. It is possible that the cores or their coatings are made of material which withstands water. In this case the end surfaces of the cores can be outside the watertight housings, whereby the core surfaces of the connector halves can 35 be placed towards each other with minimal gap between the cores. This way the transfer of electrical energy is efficient. After fixing the quick securing clamps, air gap between connectors is dried with air or other gas blowing inside flexible collar 41.
    WO 2013/107934 PCT/F12013/050046 11 An Inverter unit of the converter senses network frequency and phase, synchro nizing output accordingly. 5 The apparatus can also be inverted to run the generator as a motor generating hydraulic power. With this function the flow capturing surfaces can be turned re motely down to bottom when needed, instead of letting them idle. It must be noted that above only some embodiments of the solution according to 10 the invention have been described. The principle of the invention can naturally be modified within the scope of protection determined by the patent claims, e.g. in details of implementation and areas of use. It is also to be noted that the underwater wing, the hinge-type converter apparatus 15 and the induction connector can also be applied separately and independently in different types of wave power plants. It should further be noted that the energy plant according to the invention prefera bly utilizes water movements caused waves, but it may alternatively or additionally 20 utilize water movements caused by tide, river stream etc.
