Wave Energy Converters – WEC
There are now more than 100 different projects on its way and Seaflex is always looking to support each of these as much as possible. We are especially invested in the Waves4Power project, where we have been a strategic partner since the start.
Seaflex increases efficiency
During 2012 Seaflex was given the opportunity to join a EU funded development project called Geowave, as one of three SME (Small Medium Enterprise) companies. The goal of this project is to further develop the use of WEC, maximize effectiveness and optimize all connection points in the system.
One important conclusion from the Geowave project is that using SEAFLEX to secure the WEC reduced the maximal load on the mooring lines by up to 60% due to the unique characteristics of the SEAFLEX mooring system.
