Working principle
Due to the waves keep on moving, floats are directly transmitted to the hydraulic cylinder. Their moving trajectory is similar to the action of a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic oil driving the motor to be a power generator. In order to optimize the energy production, the position and the speed of the hydraulic cylinder must be measured, the data is used to controlling the closed-loop, optimizing the equipment and improving the efficiency of power generation.
Stop working: While the wind is strong, the Hydraulic cylinder inside with magnetostrictive dispalcement sensor will fold the floats up to protect the power station.
To select a best sensor:
Magnetostrictive dispalcement sensor: In order to have a longer service life under such a harsh environment, Soway magnetostrictive dispalcement sensor use in a special rubber housing,which can endure the effects of the sunlight and the seawater corrosion while maintaining flexibility, and provide 100% protection for the electronic parts.
The main advantage :
• can measure the location and the speed at one time.
• has a reliable performance in harsh environment.
•noncontact measurment with a long service life.
