Penghu Sharp Eagle WEC

Supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Guangdong Province, the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion (GIEC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences designed a semi-submersible offshore wave energy aquaculture platform dubbed “Penghu”. The structure is 66 m long, 28 m wide, and 16 m high, with an aquaculture water body of 15,000 m3. Penghu that implements GIEC's Sharp Eagle wave energy conversion technology with a capacity of 60 kW but also includes a solar energy generation system with a capacity of 60 kW (note that the rated capacity provided in the summary table is solely based on the wave energy), and energy storage of 500 kWh. Penghu is equipped with automatic feeding and video monitoring, conducting aquaculture trials of pomfret, tiger grouper, and dragon grouper, as well as integrated marine tourism and fishing experiments.
