Waves4Power wave power plant at Runde has produced power since June 2, 2017. The aim of the Runde demonstration system was proof of concept and to gather important data for the development of WaveEL 4.0, Next Generation and serial production of wave power systems. The plan was from the beginning that all tests would be completed before Christmas ...
In a recent article in the Business Cornwall online magazine, Cllr Jonathan Smith, lead member for the Smart Island Project on Scilly, said: “Being surrounded by excellent wave, wind and solar natural resources, we are creating a world-leading smart island project. It will combine energy reduction, renewable generation, energy storage, low carbon transport ...
Five months has passed since Waves4Power connected the wave power plant at Runde to the Norwegian power grid. And it’s over a month since King Harald V – on site in Fosnavåg – inaugurated the continued goal of wave power industrialization in Norway. ...
Representatives from Columbia Power Technologies, NREL and project partners celebrate the start of generator testing for the Columbia Power wave energy generator. "Though designed to benefit the wind industry, the NWTC's large dynamometer facility is being leveraged to help advance new ocean energy technology," said NWTC Director Daniel Laird. ...
"Together, these initiatives will generate thousands of construction and operations jobs, cut carbon emissions by millions of tons, and help Western states meet their renewable energy goals." ...
Startup Columbia Power is the latest company to dream of harnessing the ocean for electricity. It’s building a wave generator called StingRAY that will float on the ocean’s surface, turning each passing wave to usable power. ...
The PTO system competitive call is the first of five calls to be run over the next year, with support from the Carbon Trust, the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and the University of Edinburgh. Wave Energy Scotland’s objective is to put wave energy technology developed in Scotland on the path towards a reliable, commercial product that ...
