UniWave 200

Engineers of Wave Swell Energy (Australia) have developed the UniWave 200 offshore platform, which, due to manipulations with incoming waves, creates air pressure drops in a special chamber, powering a turbine that generates electricity.

In fact, UniWave 200 is a towed floating power plant that is delivered to any point of the coastal zone and integrated into the local power system. It is designed in such a way that the incoming waves "drive" the water into a special concrete chamber, where as a result the pressure rises, pushing the air through the exhaust valve. When the wave "rolls back", the water leaves, creating a vacuum in the chamber, so that air begins to be sucked through the turbine located in the upper part of the UniWave 200. The turbine blades begin to rotate, and the generated energy is supplied to the network via a laid cable.

UniWave 200

The main feature of the technology from WSE is one—way generation. In similar "wave" devices, more complex bidirectional turbines were previously used, where it is necessary to adjust the pitch of the blades and redirect the airflow. UniWave 200 type turbines are simpler and cheaper, and their surface location guarantees a longer service life. The design feature of UniWave 200 provides it with easy integration into protective coastal structures — breakwaters and dams, which at the same time allows you to save the coast and receive environmentally friendly renewable energy.
