The purpose is to build a 500 kW wave energy demonstrator for the North Sea, as a first very important step towards commercialisation of wave energy. The EUDP funds mainly cover the very extensive
The project is based on a previously tested 1:40 model of a new type of wave energy converter, which has so far shown good properties. The objective of the project is to measure loads on the
The first step is to combine a hydrodynamic model of the waves with a dynamic model for the mechanical and hydraulic PTO system to achieve an understanding of the principles behind optimising energy
Optimization of power production and reliability of the Wave Star prototype in Hanstholm. The funding is given as a temporary additional per production hour, and is activated by attainment of
The project will test the abilities of the wave wing as an energy absorber. The test will be performed in the wave tank at AAU following preparation of measuring setup, component list and plan for
The pier-based Wave Star Energy test system is now ready for installation at Roshage pier in Hanstholm. For security reasons, the unit was moved into open waters west of the pier. A high footbridge
The present R and D will be used to build a 1:10 scale model of a single AquaBuOY and test and measure its performance in a range of sea conditions at the testsite in Nissum Bredning on 5 meters deep
A scale 1:40 Wave Star wave energy converter has gone through more than 600 different wave tests in order to map the characteristics of the machine and optimize the annual energy production in a
The objective is to develop a prototype design of a wave power converter based on the Point absorber system AquaBuOY in cooperation between RAMBOLL and Aqua Energy.
Wave energy test is extended due to an unexpected stop caused by the sinking of the float (due to corrosion). The test is continued in order to obtain sufficient long period of performance data. The
