Assistance in relation to the Danish membership of IEA-OES 2021
Wave energy converters (WEC’s) capture energy from ocean waves to produce electricity. Wave energy converters are intended to be modular and deployed in multi-unit arrays. Today there is a little design con-census for wave energy devices. Worldwide only about 8 MW of sea testing of different WEC concepts is ongoing to identify the design solutions able to operate and survive extreme wave conditions during storms and at the same time provide reliable electricity production. Wave energy can compete with offshore wind. The international co-operation OES under the IEA aims to facilitate sharing and dissemination of the results.
The OES was initially created as a result of the Danish Wave Energy Porgramme 1998-2001 as Denmark can benefit from participating in the international co-operation under existing and coming annexes for the OES.
Like previous years the project involves participation in the two annual meetings of the EXCO. The purpose of the ExCo meetings is to exchange information on Ocean Energy Activities developing in the member countries. To identify collaboration activities that help increase the speed of development and use of Ocean Energy in the international energy mix.
