Device could deliver wave energy to thousands
https://www.ed.ac.uk/news/2019/device-could-deliver-wave-energy-to-thousandsDevice could deliver wave energy to thousands
A wave energy technology is being developed that could help generate low-cost electricity for thousands of houses.
The device costs less than conventional designs, has fewer moving parts, and is made of durable materials.
It is designed to be incorporated into existing ocean energy systems and can convert wave power into electricity.
Small scale experiments in an ocean simulator show that one full-size device could generate the equivalent of 500kW, enough electricity for about 100 homes.
Engineers say that their design could be used in fleets of low-cost, easily maintained structures at sea within decades, to take advantage of powerful waves in Scottish waters.
