Pilot Project Kvitsoy

WAVESSG-019831

 

WaveEnergy AS is the co-ordinator for a EC funded project, building a full-scale SSG wave energy converter at the island of Kvitsoy, Norway.

The prototype of the SSG will have three reservoirs placed above each other. This patented multi-reservior concept ensures that all sizes of waves are utilized for energy production, resulting in a high degree of efficiency.

 

The plant will be constructed as a robust shorline device. It will be 10m wide and have 200kW installed capacity.

 

 

 

The main objective of the present project is to operate at full scale one modual of the SSG converter in 19 kW/m wave climate, including turbine,generator and control system.
