Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015128586A1] The invention relates to a wave energy plant (1) that includes: a semi-submersible platform (2) provided with at least one longitudinal casing (4) that extends from a bow (7) to a stern (8) of the platform (2); and a wave energy machine (3) mounted on the platform (2). The machine (3) comprises: a gantry (17) transversely mounted on the casing (4) on the bow of the platform (2); floats (18, 19) arranged so as to enable the wave energy to be converted into mechanical energy, i.e. at least one primary float (18) and at least one secondary float (19), longitudinally offset relative to the primary float (18); and a transformer (34). The platform (2) comprises at least one stabilizer aileron (12) extending transversely within the lower edges (10) of the casings (4) of the platform (2).
