AquaHarmonics Inc. products

The AquaHarmonics (AH) wave energy converter (WEC) concept is a point absorber style WEC comprised of an axisymmetric floating hull with a “winch style” interior Power Take Off (PTO) which generates electrical power by reacting against the seafloor via an anchor connected to the free end of PTO mooring line. The PTO operates in a tension only condition with a large operational stroke and an impedance control scheme for matching the WEC’s natural frequency with the frequency of the waves within the deployed wave environment. This particular device topology yields an energy dense device that maximizes electrical power output as compared with a passively operating device of a similar size.
