Periodic Reporting for period 1 - HACE (Making wave energy competitive with wind and solar energy)
Período documentado: 2018-03-01 hasta 2018-06-30
At the end of 2017, the technology is at the TRL5 stage and at this stage HACE believes it has a revolutionary technical solution. But many steps remain to be taken to launch the company on its markets.
In 2018, two major objectives are defined:
1/ Put a 50 kW demonstrator into service.
2/ Analyse market access conditions. To do this, we conduct a market study, a technical and economic analysis, and a Freedom to operate analysis.
Those two goals beeing achived, we now focus on the scale up of our Wave Energy Recover and on the way to market.
This will enable us to put on the market a competitive, almost non-intermittent and highly acceptable energy supply (low visual impact of our devices), accessible anywhere in the world.
