Energen Wave Power
The Energen Wave Power device is a new invention that uses the motion of near shore ocean surface waves to create electricity. It is an attenuating wave device designed for efficiently extracting all the energy available from a single wave over a large surface area. It has a simple robust design that will enable it to withstand harsh sea conditions. The design of the generator allows for single or modular installations. Modular installations will reduce costs making power generating sites more financially viable. The size of each generator can be changed to accommodate regional wave conditions to maximise power output and reduce energy unit costs.
All proprietary power generating equipment is housed in the parallel floating pontoons, providing essential protection from the harsh corrosive sea conditions. All hydraulic and electrical power generating equipment are standard and readily available.
==Operation==
The Energen device consists of a series of semi-submerged cylindrical pivoting torque tubes connected to two large cylindrical pontoons. The wave-induced movement of these torque tubes is resisted by a hydraulic system which pumps high pressure oil through hydraulic motors. The hydraulic motors drive electrical generators to produce electricity.
A 50th scale model has been tested at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Stellenbosch and using actual wave data off the South African coast it is estimated that a single device will produce 1.4MW of power, or 979GW hours of electricity per annum.
