Energy collecting method

Abstract

An energy collecting method includes: a step in which a floating body, which constitutes a power generation system, stores energy by the floating body generating power while automatically sailing; and a step in which an energy transport ship collects energy from the floating body near an edge of a sea area in which the floating body automatically sails.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An energy collecting method including:
 a step in which a floating body, which constitutes a power generation system, stores energy by the floating body generating power while automatically sailing; and   a step in which an energy transport ship collects energy from the floating body near an edge of a sea area in which the floating body automatically sails.   
     
     
         2 . The energy collecting method according to  claim 1 , wherein the floating body automatically sails in the sea area along a trajectory that has a starting point and an end point that coincide, and that can be drawn without passing through a partial trajectory that is a part of the trajectory more than once. 
     
     
         3 . The energy collecting method according to  claim 1 , wherein in the step in which the floating body stores energy, a plurality of floating bodies, that constitute a formation, generate power while automatically sailing. 
     
     
         4 . The energy collecting method according to  claim 1 , wherein the floating body performs tether-type wind power generation. 
     
     
         5 . The energy collecting method according to  claim 1 , wherein the floating body has an underwater turbine generator.
