AWS Ocean Energy to install wave unit in Scotland

摘要

AWS Ocean Energy Ltd. will install a 250-kw AWS 2 wave energy project at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) in Scotland's Orkney Islands in 2008. The installation will feature the company's Archimedes Wave Swing prototype. Following the 2008 installation, AWS says it plans to construct its firstrnmini-wave farm of 500-kw Archimedes units by the third quarter of 2009. AWS received 2.128 million pounds (US$4.16 million) from the Scottish Executive for this work. Grant Bibby, operations director at AWS, says the company expects to have installed more than 100 units by 2013.
