Objetivo
The search for a cost effective and reliable product able to open the wave energy market and make it grow into a profitable opportunity, especially for SMEs, did not get to a satisfying result do far; the WAVEGEN project proposes to develop a modular, very low impact, off-shore wave energy converter, created from the integration of the WAVEPUMP technology with a novel sub-sea power generation hydraulic turbine. A system with inherent characteristics of modularity, scalability and substantial absence of visual impact can be produced, achieving a competitive cost per energy unit produced.
