Wavepiston - a cost-efficient and sustainable wave energy system

Explaining Wavepiston, People, Technology, Business

Price of electricity and desalinated water can be cut in half with wave energy for island communities and remote coastal areas. That is the promise of Wavepiston’s patented technology, based on intensive testing. The Denmark-based company is ready to demonstrate its solution at full scale and is turning to the Seedrs platform to crowdfund final phases of development.

Underwater Kites Harness Ocean Currents and Tides for Power

That power potential is estimated at about 20 gigawatts, or about 10 nuclear power plants.

I am a little concerned with how many moving parts it has. Seems to me something like that could be a maintainance nightmare.



From Slashdot: New Scottish Wave Energy Generator Unveiled
"We've learned about Scotland's wave energy initiatives in the past, and just this morning the nation unveiled Aquamarine Power's next-generation Oyster 800 wave power plant. The new generator can produce 250% more power at one third the cost of the first full-scale 315kw Oyster that was installed in Orkney in 2009. The device's shape has been modified and made wider to enable it to capture more wave energy, and a double seabed pile system allows for easier installation."
