Energy without end: wave chamber power plants 01


Wave energy 01: wave chamber power plant with air pressure hopper 01

Wave chamber power plant with air pressure hopper in Limpet on Islay Island (southern Scotland)

It is generally estimated that global wave power alone could meet 40% of the world's electricity needs (Limpet wave power plant video, 20-28sec.), equivalent to the output of 700 to 800 nuclear power plants (ibid., 32sec.). A subsidiary of Voith Siemens Hydro, "Wavegen", developed and operates the wave power plant in Limpet on the southern Scottish island of Islay. The output of this globally unique plant is 500 kW [web05].

Wavegen was bought by Voith Siemens in 2005 to save the company [web34].

The operating principle of this small wave chamber power plant is a water column in the cavity, which continuously moves up and down ("oscillating water column", "swinging water column"). In the process, air is continuously expelled and sucked in by the turbine. The turbine (Wells turbine, invented by Mr. Allan Wells at the end of the 1980s [web04]) is designed in such a way that it does not interrupt the direction of rotation, no matter in which direction the air flow goes ("compression" and "decompression") (Video Limpet wave power plant (Limpet Wellenkraftwerk, 1'20-32''). The effect for power generation occurs already at relatively small waves (1'33-52'').

The cavity is also called a funnel. Translation: <In this technique, the water surface is covered with a funnel-shaped roof. Inside the funnel, the water column oscillates and compresses/decompresses the volume of air trapped between the water surface and the "funnel roof". The energy stored in these pressure differences is converted into electrical energy via a Wells turbine and a generator, which can then be fed into the power grid.> [web05]

Energy without end with wave power: Countries with coasts with a lot of wave action can produce the energy with the waves.

The wave chamber power plant at Mutriku in Spain since 2011: 16 turbines.

In Mutriku, another wave chamber power plant of this type was built in 2011, with a capped funnel in a new breakwater dike in 2011. However, the turbines are now installed vertically. Wikipedia quote (tralsnation): <The power plant has 16 turbines operating at 296 kW [per day], producing 970 MWh per year.> [web32]

(original in Spanish: <Consta de 16 turbinas con una potencia total de 296 kW capaces de producir 970MWh al año.> [web32])

Each of the 16 turbines produces 18.5 kW per day [web33].

The project came from [the Spanish energy company] "Ente Vasco de la Energía" (EVE - link). The construction was realized by the Scottish company "Voith Hydro Wavegen", the Siemens subsidiary that already built the small wave chamber power plant in Scotland on Islay Island in 2000 [web32].
