Technology<\/span><\/h2>\n

Almost all existing wave energy converter (WEC) designs rely on <\/span>big<\/strong> chunks of <\/span>dumb<\/strong>, <\/span>rigid<\/strong> structure, which concentrate <\/span>massive<\/strong> loads down onto a conventional generator and drivetrain. These are typically built from steel or concrete. When scaled up, these become increasingly <\/span>expensive<\/strong> and <\/span>unwieldy<\/strong>. This is one reason why many established WEC designs have struggled to get the device costs down, even when the physics works beautifully.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The EBB-FLOW Energy Solution<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our solution is to create a flexible structure, containing thousands of <\/span>small<\/strong>, <\/span>active<\/strong>, <\/span>generating cells<\/strong>, so that now the primary structure and the power take-off are unified, meaning that a much higher proportion of the WEC’s material is active in generation. Our cell-based approach makes use of existing mass production techniques, enabling us to drive down device costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving from a shipbuilding paradigm to one of mass manufacture also gives us a really interesting scaling pathway, allowing us to<\/span><\/p>\n

power anything from a remote sensor to an AI data centre using the very same repeated building block.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
