Mocean Energy Blue Horizon
The Blue Horizon is Mocean's utility-scale machine, designed for deployment in wave farms off the coast to deliver reliable, green energy to transmission networks around the world. Mocean didn’t design Blue Horizon simply by making the Blue Star bigger. They captured the requirements and used our optimisation strategies to maximise power generation while minimising cost and keeping within constraints of the commercial application. The Mocean WEC is a hinged raft that differs radically in shape from the classic symmetric twin-pontoon configuration. The rotation of the aft hull with respect to the forward hull drives a gearbox and then a generator. Power from the generator is then conditioned and used onboard the WEC to power local system.
