Common prestudy and demonstration of wave energy

Pre-study to design and demonstrate, in small scale, cost effective solutions for 3 commonly identified challenges in the wave power industry, which typically involves floating devices. The challenges are of a common nature and are not tied to a specific wave power device:1. High efficient Inverter control of 3 phase brushless Permanent Magnetic (PM) generators could provide a very efficient power conversion solution for wave energy. Wave power developers are not widely familiar with these possibilities and need to see systems in operation and be inspired for future optimization. 2. Flexible waterproof cables, joints and connections which allow constant movement with the wave action and yet provides a reliable transmission of power, sensor - and control signals to shore.3. Low cost anchor methods that are easy to install, maintain and decommission and provide the required safety. Even though anchors have been around for centuries it is necessary to find the best total economical solutions, which drives down the costs of wave energy.
