Overview
[0088]FIG. 1a is a plan view of the WEC system indicating the general arrangement of the internal elements of the WEC vessel. A floating WEC vessel (1) is tethered at the bow by a mooring fork (2) that attaches via a mooring line (3) to an anchor (4) on the seabed (5). Upstream of the vessel are one or more wave-monitoring buoys (not shown) also tethered by a mooring line to the seabed. The buoys transmit wave data to the WEC vessel (1). The vessel (1) contains the following: a compact pendulum unit (6), a power conversion unit (7), a control and communications module (8), an ancillaries module (9) containing batteries, pumps, lighting system and air-conditioning system and ballast tanks (10). The ballast tanks (10) are between the vessel outer hull and an inner hull (11). Two solid ballast masses (12) ride on a ballast rail (13) that is fixed to the floor of the vessel (1) and passes under the pendulum unit (6). The solid ballast masses (12) are pulled along the rails (13) by
