Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012171600A1] The invention relates to a method for operating a wave energy converter (1) for converting energy from a wave motion of a fluid into a different form of energy, comprising at least one rotor (11) and at least one energy converter that is coupled to the at least one rotor. A first torque that acts on the at least one rotor (11) is generated by the wave motion, and a second torque (M1) that acts on the at least one rotor (11) is generated by the at least one energy converter. The second torque (M1) is specified during a control of the energy converter.
