The Multi-float WaveSub Wave Energy Converter (WEC)

该项目是Marine Power Systems（MPS）和巴斯大学（UoB）之间为期12个月的合作，旨在建模，设计，建造，测试和验证1：30比例的“WaveSub”波浪能量转换器（WEC）的多浮子版本。多浮式版本将解锁WaveSub的长期平准能源成本（LCOE）波到线效率，使WaveSub能够在完全商业化时以<60英镑/兆瓦时的价格与没有补贴的“传统”能源发电竞争。WaveSub WEC是一种改变游戏规则的设备，能够正面解决能源三难困境，能够为英国电网提供可持续且具有成本效益的可再生能源发电-每天，1 TWh的波浪能进入英国沃茨;相当于英国每日的电力消耗量。获得专利的WaveSub从众多产品中脱颖而出，其独特的创新包括水下轨道动力输出浮子和可变深度反应堆操作，使其能够在几乎所有海况下经受住风暴并从波浪运动中捕获能量。

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.
