Oceanlinx secures fourth berth at the cornwall wave hub

摘要

Oceanlinx's unit combines the established science of the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) with its own patented turbine technology. A full-scale operational unit has been constructed and successfully tested at Port Kembla in New South Wales, Australia. The company, which was founded 10 years ago, is also pursuing wave energy projects in North America, Mexico, South Africa and Hawaii. Wave Hub will be Oceanlinx's first installation in Europe. The South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) is planning to create the world's first large scale wave energy farm by constructing an electrical 'socket' on the seabed 16 kilometres off Hayle on the Cornwall coast in south west England. Oceanlinx joins three other wave device developers that have also been chosen to use Wave Hub. Each will be granted a lease of sea area of two square kilometres.
