Floating Pendulum Wave Energy Converter
Since 2012, the development project for the 300 KW wave energy converter has been carried out by KRISO with the support from MOF. In 2016, the construction of Floating Pendulum Wave Energy Converter (FPWEC), featured with a pendulum activated, high efficiency and high persistence rotary-vane hydraulic pump was completed and deployed to its operation site, waiting to be prepared for the sea test site. In 2017, the remote operating and monitoring system was tested and optimized. The FPWEC is planned to be tested using the forth berth of the open sea WEC test site on Jeju Island in mid-2018.
