This project is a 12 month collaboration between Marine Power Systems (MPS) and University of Bath (UoB) tomodel, design, build, test and validate a 1:30th scale multi-float version of the ‘WaveSub’ Wave EnergyConverter (WEC). The multi-float version will unlock WaveSub's long-term Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE)wave-to-wire efficiencies, to allow WaveSub to compete with ‘conventional’ energy generation withoutsubsidies, at <£60/MWh when fully commercialised. The WaveSub WEC is a game-changing device that tacklesthe energy trilemma head on, being capable of providing sustainable & cost-effective renewable energygeneration to the UK grid - every day, 1TWh of wave energy enters UK waters; an amount equal to the UK’sdaily electricity consumption. The patented WaveSub stands out from the crowd, with its unique innovationsthat include sub-surface orbiting power take-off floats and a variable depth reactor operation, allowing it tosurvive storms and capture energy from the motion of waves, in almost all sea states.

该项目是海洋电力系统公司(MPS)和巴斯大学(UOB)之间12个月的合作，设计、建造、测试和验证1：30比例尺的‘WaveSub’波能转换器(WEC)的多浮子版本。多浮子版本将释放WaveSub的长期统一能源成本(LCOE)波到线的效率，使WaveSub在完全商业化后能够在没有补贴的情况下与“传统”能源发电竞争。WaveSub WEC是一种改变游戏规则的设备，它正面解决了能源三难困境，能够为英国电网提供可持续且经济高效的可再生能源发电--每天有1TWh的波能进入英国水域；这相当于英国的日常用电量。获得专利的WaveSub凭借其独特的创新脱颖而出，包括地下轨道动力起飞浮标和可变深度反应堆操作，使其能够在几乎所有海况下抵御风暴并从波浪运动中捕获能量。
