The SIE-CAT Wave Energy Accumulator technology compares very favorably with, and surpasses all existing ‘coupled with the sea’ technologies designed for deployment on the ocean’s surface. The following figures are but a few extracted from such ‘coupled with the sea’ technologies. This SIE-CAT illustration uses five- 12’ diameter floats, with a total surface ...
Safety The SIE-CAT Wave Energy Accumulator technology can be fabricated in a shipyard and towed to location for deployment. Installation, Maintenance and Replacement can all be achieved from surface vessels, with Maintenance taking place on site. Survivability There is also a very significant case to be made for selecting a minimum float size that will ...
Resolute Marine Energy from Boston USA, won Global Entrepreneurship Week\'s inaugural Startup Open, the competition\'s directors revealed. The company uses the power of the ocean to produce drinkable water and electricity. The small-scale system converts energy from the waves into electrical power or into pressurised seawater, so we can provide both drinking water and clean, more affordable ...
The newest prototype of a wave energy device being developed by Oregon State University and Columbia Power Technologies was successfully tested last month in the ocean off Newport, Ore., providing valuable data and moving the research program closer to commercialization. In a $1 million research effort during the past year, 18 different “direct drive” wave energy technologies have been evaluated, ...
The U.S. Department of Energy has released two nationwide resource assessments showing that waves and tidal currents off the nation's coasts could contribute significantly to the United States' total annual electricity production. The new wave and tidal resource assessments, combined with ongoing analyses of the technologies and other resource assessments, show that water power, including ...
June 2nd 2011 - The SETsquared partnership, one of the UK’s most successful university collaborations, has announced the results of its competition to find a student to take part in the Kauffman Global Scholars Program. The winner is 22-year-old Alistair Shepherd, who is in the final year of a Masters degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of ...
The energy generated from our oceans could be doubled using new methods for predicting wave power. Research led by the University of Exeter, published (27 June) in the journal Renewable Energy, could pave the way for significant advancements in marine renewable energy, making it a more viable source of power. The study was carried out by a team of mathematicians and engineers from the University ...
The SIE-CAT Wave Energy Accumulator, Sustainable Energy from Ocean Waves, is a unique and proprietary next generation ‘Green’ technology. The SIE-CAT technology, when ‘commercialized’, will combat Global Warming by offering the ability to produce a sustainable, cost effective means of capturing and retrieving renewable wave energy from the world’s oceans and large ...
All along the coasts of Europe where the Atlantic waves crash onto the shore there are experimental wave power stations producing electricity. Now engineers in Norway and Sweden − two of the countries trying hardest to develop this technology − have announced “breakthroughs” in their methods, which the inventors believe will make wave power competitive. At present, most ...
This unique and proprietary SIE-CAT Wave Energy Accumulator technology, supporting 5 to 10 floats or more as a single array, provides superior results of cost by virtue of its ability to store energy from multiple arrays (mini farm), before Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) to electricity is performed. This two-phase approach to harvesting wave energy introduces a cost effective magnitude-of-scale ...
NEWPORT, Oregon, September 17, 2007 (ENS) - Finavera Renewables Inc. has successfully deployed and commissioned the first commercial scale wave energy converter off the west coast of North America. The company plans the phased installation of a multi-device wave park and commercial electricity generation by 2010. The wave energy converter, called the AquaBuOY 2.0, is ...
The Energy Department today announced the opening of the registration period for the Wave Energy Prize competition that aims to double the state-of-the-art performance of wave energy conversion (WEC) devices over the next two years. By accelerating the development of WEC devices that capture more energy from ...
The Energy Department announced up to $12 million in new projects to support the development of innovative technologies capable of generating reliable and cost-effective electricity from U.S. water resources. The four projects will advance marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy technologies, which can harness energy from the nation's oceans and rivers. Two projects will test and validate wave ...
(AXcess News) London - Britain prided itself on ruling the waves in the 19th century; they might once again in the 21st century. But not with its Navy. This time, Britain's chosen vessels are new technologies that convert the pounding of the waves and the ebbing of tides into the thrum of electricity. While still years behind other alternative-energy forms, wave and tidal power systems are ...
Based on its recent analysis of the wave energy generation market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Eco Wave Power with the 2012 European Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation for developing and implementing an all-round solution for effective energy harvesting from waves. "Driven by the energy crisis around the globe, an escalation of activities in newer forms of renewable ...
Carnegie Wave Energy Limited has been selected to present at CleanEquity Monaco 2012 on March 29th & 30th at the Sporting d'Hiver, Monaco. Carnegie Wave Energy was included, by expert selection, as one of the world's most inspiring cleantech companies, to present to industry-specific, senior financial and strategic investors, policy makers, legislators, end ...
Most directly, by ushering in the Hydrogen economy, we can gradually replace all fossil fuel use, and thereby reduce our Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. The internal combustion engine would be replaced with fuel cells and electric drives. The massive coal fired generating stations would be replaced with distributed generation utilizing fuel cells. Judicious deployment of this technology as ...
