Floating slag moored wave energy aggregates at sea has to be placed in a certain distance from each other not to bump into each other. At deeper depths the security distance has to be larger. This means that the cable and other costs increases without more output of energy. At sea the energy in calculated by the meter of wave front. So the advantage is to take up a little space as possible to achieve economics. If a wave energy aggregate is built with a double width to achieve the double amount of energy, this will accomplice, that the material use will be six times more than the weight for two single aggregates. To resist the strength of forces there are on this double width the use of materials is in third potent.2x2x2=8. This means an extra expense. On the power changing machines, there has to transform the energy there is nothing to save. They still have to extract the amount of energy form a double width. Therefore- it is the challenge to achieve the same energy consumption in a cheaper way. To connect even smaller and lighter units together without they are damaging each other- can be obtained the performances as one very big single unit. To stand the very big forces many small units in a grid construction has to survive in, each unit must be flexible to do so as each was floating alone. With the invention is gained cheaper production price, cheaper transportation, installment, maintenance and more reliability because of a bigger number of productions units that not all will fail. L'invention vise à mettre en oeuvre un dispositif économique destiné à recueillir l'énergie des vagues. A cet effet, ledit dispositif est composé d'unités de taille et de poids réduit, pouvant être assemblées sans provoquer de dégâts sur lesdites unités, lesdites unités permettant d'atteindre la capacité d'une seule unité de taille importante. Par ailleurs, chaque unité est conçue de façon flexible de manière à résister aux forces importantes exercées sur les unités d'une structure de grille. Selon l'invention, il est possible de réduire les coûts de production, de transport, d'installation et de maintenance, et d'atteindre un niveau de fiabilité supérieur étant donné que l'utilisation d'un grand nombre d'unités permet de réduire le risque de panne générale.
