Abstract
Disclosed is an active compensation system, intended to compensate at least partially for the effect of an undulating movement on a load, advantageously in a vertical direction, preferably for the active compensation of the swell. The active compensation system includes: —an electrical supply electrically connected to electrical storage unit; —electrical energy dissipating unit; and —a controller for discharging the electrical storage unit during a first phase of the undulating movement, to participate in the electrical supply of the electrical motor in addition to the power supply, and to recharge the electrical storage via the electrical supply during a second phase of the undulating movement.
