Objective
The objective of this project is to use waves in order to achieve an efficient production of electricity by using a wave energy device called the Wave Plane (WP). The WP is a wave energy aggregate that through its physical shape transforms the pulsating waves into a steady fast rotating waterfowls. During tests, the WP has demonstrated that it can absorb 22% of the total wave energy, thus holding a great potential, if, however, a suitable turbine is developed. None of the turbines available today, are able to efficiently utilize the fast rotating water flows that the WP generates. The aim of the project is to develop a turbine especially for the rotating water flows and thereby reach an electricity production cost from the WP of 0,5 euro/kwh. The new turbine is expected to be able to obtain 75-85% of the energy at hand, where the traditional turbines only are able to obtain app. 25-30%.To construct a new turbine the proposing partners will need 4-5 other partners with specific skills in the areas of modelling and simulation, measurement and testing, electrical (generator), and engineering.
