#Barbados plant ein 50 Megawatt #Wellenkraftwerk, das #Strom und #Trinkwasser aus der Bewegung des Meeres gewinnt.

Das System der dänischen Firma #Wavepiston nutzt flexible Segel und hydraulischen Druck, um eine #Turbine oder eine #Entsalzungsanlage zu betreiben. Da Wellen stetige Energie liefern, ergänzt die Technik #Photovoltaik und #Windkraft. Erste Tests zeigen robuste Leistung und positive ökologische Effekte.

"Initial results show that Wavepiston’s flexible sails prove effective in mitigating peak forces during extreme events, thereby validating the company’s approach of using sails composed of flexible panels to passively counter extreme events. Data was collected by multiple gauges, including force gauges, motion trackers and video recordings from multiple angles."
