THE Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) plans to take wave energy to the next level with a project to design and demonstrate a low-cost wave energy converter system.
The ETI project is intended to identify where major improvements could be made to wave converters and “significant” cost savings can be demonstrated.
The project will be commissioned in two phases, the first providing a fully-detailed design concept for a wave energy converter system capable of delivering at least 10MW of power before a second phase where the new innovations are developed and demonstrated at full scale at sea.
It will also assess the potential market opportunities of the technologies in the UK and abroad.
A Request for Proposals (RfP) has been issued by the ETI.
