Denmark has built an innovative wave power Wavestar
An unusual way to generate wave energy offers a Danish company Wavestar. It has developed a marine machine c buoys floating on the beams, which are set in motion thanks to the kinetic energy of waves and convert it into "clean" electricity.
The concept was invented by enthusiasts of sailing Niels and Keld Hansen (Niels and Keld Hansen) in 2000. The challenge was to create a regular production of energy from the ocean by the oncoming waves at intervals of 5-10 seconds. This has been implemented through a series of emergent buoys that rise and fall in accordance with the movements of water, providing a continuous power generation.
"The unique system of protection of the machine from the storm - one of many patented aspects of the design - guarantees reliable performance in the most adverse conditions, and represents a true milestone in the development of wave generators. Wave energy will play a crucial role in our energy future, but only machines that can withstand the most severe storms can really offer an effective solution, "- said the project site
. Wave Star Energy Company is currently testing an experimental installation in the North Sea near the Cape of Hanstholm in the north-west of Denmark, said ecotechnica.com.ua. The wave power plant is located in the sea 300 meters from the shore, where the end port pier, and associated with him a short footbridge, providing maintenance personnel easy access at any time.
Installation WaveStar converts the kinetic energy of waves into electricity by floats which rise and fall up and down as the wave motion. The floats are attached by means of moving the beams, placed on a platform that supports fixed to the seabed. float movement is transmitted through the hydraulic pistons on the rotating generator, which produces electricity.
Each round the float has a diameter of approximately 5 meters and is made of fiberglass. A modular platform can be up to 20 moving buoys. In the working position they are lowered into water and waves swing, which causes the levers attached to the floats move up and down. Each of the levers is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, and through movement of floats is transmitted to the electric generator shaft.
Today prototype represents only one module experimental wave power output of 500 kW. If necessary, increase plant performance, you can add the appropriate number of modules.
For optimum performance, install the wave height must not exceed 2, 5 meters. If it reaches 3 meters or more, the floats are raised above the water to prevent damage. In case of a storm, all power platform capable of rising to a height of 10 meters.
I have this concept and its lack - such a machine is designed for installation in coastal areas a maximum depth of 7 meters. However, in Europe alone seats, suitable for mounting installations WaveStar enough - apart from Denmark, they are in Portugal, Scotland, France and Ireland
. Earlier, it was reported that the company BioPower Systems (BPS) installed wave power generating installation bioWAVE 250 kW in the coastal waters of Port Fairy, Victoria (Australia).
The issue of energy saving and cost automobile industry. Much more eco-friendly cars to repair instead of buying new ones.
