First float of grid
Sweden-based Eco Wave Power has announced that the first of 10 floats has been successfully installed on the sea wall at Jaffa Port in Israel, marking an important milestone for the company's second grid-connected wave energy harvesting project.
We've been following the progress of Eco Wave Power (EWP) since the first tests of its wave energy harvesting system in 2012. The idea is to install arrays of floats on breakwaters and piers, which rise and fall with the waves. A land-based energy conversion unit then converts this wave energy into fluid pressure that drives a generator to produce electricity.
The company has been operating a pilot station in Jaffa Port since 2014, which has allowed for much real-world testing and tweaking the system. Its first grid-connected wave energy power station was officially opened on the east side of Gibraltar in 2016, representing the initial 100-kW part of a proposed 5-MW power station.
In August of 2019, EWP partnered with energy company EDF Renewables to form and new company called EWP EDF One and collaborate on the development of another grid-connected 100-kW pilot project, this time in Israel.
