The device is a floating asymmetric hull containing a rotating mass which drives a generator, without the need for hydraulic systems or a gearbox, and uses similar components to wind turbines. [2] Passing waves cause the hull to move in roll, heave, and pitch, this motion driving the asymmetric counterweight and flywheel, connected to an ...
The Sungrow Huainan Solar Farm was once the world's largest floating solar array. Located 5 km southwest of Nihe Town, Huainan city in China's Anhui province, the array floats on an artificial lake, created on the site of a former coal mine, and has a capacity of 40 MW. [1] The array consists of 166,000 panels and was built by Sungrow Power ...
Mocean Energy was founded in Edinburgh in 2015 by Dr. Cameron McNatt and Dr. Chris Retzler; both of whom have a PhD from the University of Edinburgh. [9] Prior to working at Mocean, Retzler was a founding member and principal scientist at Pelamis Wave Power until that company went into administration in November 2014.

[132] [133] It was the first full-scale wave energy device constructed (apart from the French OWC installation on the top of a natural cliff in 1910, and operated for six months with good results. It was built in a shoreline gully; a naturally tapered channel that focuses the energy to the head where the device is located. [134]
Evopod is a unique tidal energy device being developed by a UK-based company Oceanflow Energy Ltd for generating electricity from tidal streams and ocean currents. It can operate in exposed deep water sites where severe wind and waves also make up the environment.
