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

将海浪运动转换成电能是一项挑战，部分原因是海浪的速度相对较低且运动不规则。威特有限公司（WL）设计了一种可扩展的能源生产技术创新，称为WITT，具有利用波浪能的能力。该创新涉及一种专利传动系统，该系统将全六度的机械运动转换为单一的单向旋转，用于驱动高效发电机发电。没有其他传动装置能够收集所有这些混乱的运动，并将其转化为可用的动力。密封装置操作可能无需维护，适用于海洋环境。它也可以从久经考验的行业组件构建。因此，WITT可能提供一种引人注目的海洋能量收集设备。该可行性项目将评估与竞争性波浪能转换器技术相比，WITT作为波浪能转换器在海上部署发电的能力和潜力。它将确定它是否确实有可能提供一个能够在英国大规模部署的出色解决方案。

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.
