WAVEGEN ENERGY: HARNESSING THE POWER OF THE WAVES
WaveGen Energy is a renewable energy company that harnesses the power of ocean waves to generate electricity. Based in Bengaluru, the company installs offshore equipment for electricity generation and supplies the electricity to governments and other companies. WaveGen Energy also takes care of installation, maintenance, and electricity generation. The company's goal for the website is to showcase its superior technology and products.
How does it work?
LINEAR MOTION POWER EXTRACTION
Our dual-flap technology harnesses the power of ocean waves to generate electricity. When waves impact the flaps, water stored inside the chamber absorbs potential energy. As this energy is released, it pushes the flaps outward. This continuous inward and outward motion drives the generation of electricity through the linear motion of magnets and coils, in accordance with Faraday's Law of Induction.
This method is the most optimal for energy extraction, as there is no loss of energy through conversion into other forms—energy is directly captured and utilized, ensuring maximum efficiency.
HYDRAULIC METHOD POWER EXTRACTION
An alternative energy extraction method is the hydraulic method, which is the most commonly used technique for generating power. While it is slightly more economical than the linear method, it involves an energy loss as potential energy is first converted into kinetic energy before being transformed into electricity. This intermediate conversion step results in reduced overall efficiency compared to methods that directly harness the energy.
WAVE BREAKER
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, since energy cannot be created or destroyed, traditional submerged sea walls or wave breakers absorb the energy from waves. Over time, this constant absorption of wave energy can damage these structures.
In contrast, our devices not only stop the waves but also convert their energy into electricity. This process effectively dissipates the wave energy, reducing its strength by over 85%. As a result, we not only protect coastlines and structures from erosion but also extend the lifespan of these structures.
WATER DESALINATION
Pressurized water is directed through a pipe, and by connecting it to an RO plant instead of a hydraulic motor, we enable desalination without requiring additional electricity from any external source. A single 100 kWh device is capable of desalinating up to 800,000 liters of water per day.
COMPETATIVE ADVANTAGE
WaveGen Energy’s competitive advantage lies in its innovative wave energy technology, achieving 52% efficiency, far surpassing the industry average. Its dual functionality as a coastal protection system and desalination solution adds unique value, making it a sustainable, cost-effective, and versatile energy solution.
AGAINST OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGY
Other renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, have a capacity factor of around 60% due to their heavy reliance on weather conditions. In contrast, our technology boasts a capacity factor exceeding 90%, as ocean waves provide a consistent energy source 24/7.
AGAINST OTHER WAVE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
Other wave energy technologies typically rely on surface wave motion or oscillation methods, which limit their efficiency and extract only about 20% of the wave’s energy. In contrast, our technology captures the entire wave’s energy, achieving an impressive 52% efficiency and unlocking its full potential.
OUR PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Our technology is safeguarded by patents granted in India, published in the USA, and filed in Europe, which gives us strategic access to key global markets.
