Wavepiston - Wave Energy Technology
A revolutionary wave energy technology that works with the forces of the sea. A revolutionary wave energy technology that works with the forces of the sea. Multiple energy collectors are coupled on a string with each string corresponding to a wave energy converter. Each energy collector has a sail, which is moved back and forth by the passing waves. This movement drives hydraulic pumps generating pressurised seawater, which is piped to the conversion station (onshore or offshore) where the pressurised seawater is used to generate electricity via a standard hydropower turbine and/or desalinated water through a standard reverse osmosis system. A wave energy farm will consist of multiple strings all pumping pressurised seawater to the common conversion station, scalable both to wave resources and to energy and/or water demands at the given location.
