AMEC, with the expertise of Pelamis has begun the process of developing an economically viable way of harnassing the ocean's energy in a highly efficient manner. The concept of converting wave energy has already been completed by the Pelamis, however this is just the first major breakthrough. The Aguçadoura Wave Farm has the capacity of 2.25MW. There is 2TW available. Obviously, there is a lack of efficiency with Pelamis' originial model. AMEC-Pelamis' mandate is to redesign and perfect the technology so that the average wave farm generate as much energy as the average nuclear reactor. |
