A new, promising development direction is the generation of electricity in an environmentally friendly manner. Offshore waters contain an enormous amount of potential energy and so leveraging on the Company’s extensive knowledge and experience in providing systems in the offshore wave and current environment, it was decided late 2006 to explore ways of capturing a portion of that energy in a sustainable manner: green power.
After reviewing various energy potential sources (current energy, thermal/density, solar, etc) it was found that Wave Energy Conversion systems (WEC), have a good application potential both from a technical feasibility and commercial viability perspective. A creative team of engineers has therefore been working on a range of WEC concepts.
