Kompositer, Hybrid test og simulering af innovativ bølgeenergikonverter

To reach a carbon neutral society we need more renewable energy sources. Wave energy has some clear advantages with high predictability, high availability and timewise shifted production compared with wind. But the market is lacking a competitive solution that can kickstart the commercialization of wave energy.
Wavepiston has developed a unique, groundbreaking wave energy technology that can deliver both energy and desalinated water, but costs are still not competitive. The consortium of Wavepiston, Technical Univer-sity of Denmark and Aalborg University, together with key suppliers in the value chain, will redesign key subcomponents of the Wavepiston technology to reduce weight and increase durability to reduce CAPEX and OPEX, and increase efficiency of the energy conversion for higher annual energy production. This will ensure a competitive LCOE right after the finalization of the project.
The project results will have a significant impact in Denmark on revenues, job creation, green exports and CO2 reductions. By delivering green energy and green freshwater, Wavepiston’s solution will generate a substantial impact on energy supply and accelerate global decarbonization.
