Pelagic Power W2Power

W2Power is designed from first principles as a true hybrid wind & wave energy conversion plant. Two corners of the triangle support one wind turbine each, and the third corner houses the wave energy power take-off using a Pelton turbine, standard in hydropower applications, driven by three lines of wave-actuated hydraulic pumps mounted on the platform’s sides.
