Ocean Wave and Wind Energy Wave Power Rig

The Floating Wave Power Rig is a patented system for harvesting energy from ocean waves. The system is in the same category as “Wave Dragon”. The overtopping type of wave energy converters are effective secure and simple. Wave Dragon have been tested since 1997 as a model and since 2003 as a 1:4,5 sized prototype at Nissum Bredning in Denmark. The prototype has been through several storms. Tests will show if the Wave Power Rig is more effective, compared to Wave Dragon. In the future wind mils will be placed at this type of wave power plants.
