The capability of the WITT Wave Energy Convertor to generate megawatts of offshore power at a competitive LCOE

将海浪运动转化为电能具有挑战性，部分原因是海浪的速度相对较低，运动不规律。Witt Ltd(WL)设计了一种可扩展的能源发电技术创新，称为Witt，它具有利用波能的能力。这项创新涉及一种获得专利的传动系统，该系统将全六度的机械运动转换为单一的单向旋转，用于驱动高效的发电机发电。没有其他变速器能够收集所有这些混乱的运动，并将其转化为可用的能源。密封式单元操作可能是免维护的，适合海洋环境。它也可以用经过验证和测试的行业组件构建。出于这个原因，WITT潜在地提供了一个引人注目的海洋能源收集装置。该可行性项目将评估与竞争对手的波能转换器技术相比，WITT作为波能转换器部署在海外发电的能力和潜力。它将决定它是否真的有潜力提供一个能够在英国大规模部署的杰出解决方案。

Converting sea wave motion into electrical energy is challenging, in part due to the relatively low speeds and irregular movements of ocean waves. WITT Ltd (WL) has devised a scalable technological innovation in energy generation called the WITT that has the capability to harness wave energy. The innovation concerns a patented transmission system that converts mechanical motion in the full six degrees into a single unidirectional rotation used to drive an efficient generator for the production of electricity. No other transmission is capable of collecting all of this chaotic motion and turning it into useable power. Sealed unit operation is potentially maintenance free and suitable for marine environments. It can also be built from tried and tested industry components. For this reason the WITT potentially provides a compelling marine energy harvesting device. This feasibility project will assess the capability and potential of the WITT to be deployed offshore as a wave energy converter to generate power compared to competitive wave energy converter technologies. It will determine whether it does indeed potentially offer a standout solution capable of UK wide scale deployment.
