Description
Current forms of sea wave energy conversion are so inefficient that it has not yet been able to be applied in the distribution network on a larger scale. Niore Energy brings new WEC (Wave Energy Conversion) technology - a sea wave energy converter that uses rotational motion. The aim of the project is to develop a feasibility study of WEC from the point of view of performance and capacities and in terms of business. WEC technical parameters will be tested on a functional model in order to include the equipment into a production cycle.
Summary of project results
The project aimed to develop and test technologies for a wave energy converter, addressing challenges related to optimizing the model and ensuring the successful implementation of innovative technology.
The project developed and tested five planned technologies, culminating in the creation of a wave energy converter. Key activities included the delivery and evaluation of the wave-producing device, conducting calculations and simulations, preparing professional articles, and presenting the results at a final seminar. Additionally, a patent application for the innovative technology was filed.
The project successfully developed and tested a wave energy converter, filed a patent application, and disseminated the results through professional articles and a final seminar. The main beneficiaries were the project team and stakeholders in the renewable energy sector, who gained valuable insights and technological advancements in wave energy conversion.
Summary of bilateral results
The project fostered collaboration and knowledge exchange between Slovak and Norwegian partners, enhancing bilateral relations.
