Description
This project involves development of a novel Wave Energy Converter (WEC) with a floating point absorber and
further made from waste materials. Pressurised seawater is pumped to the shore for a variety of end uses
including desalination and electricity generation. The concept behind the WEC is that it can be manufactured,
deployed maintained and used by small coastal communities, primarily in Less Developed Countries.
The work proposed in this project builds on existing modelling and engineering work already carried out by the
academic partner on behalf of the lead partner, and will extend both these aspects to prove feasibility of the
device. The multinational engineering partner will draw upon their expertise to define the most effective ways
to use the supplied flow of pressurised seawater.
The project is a collaboration between Clean Energy Ltd, the University of Plymouth, and Mott MacDonald.
