New technologyLeave some feedback please ???????? Innovative wave power plant tested in the North Sea Follow @intelligencego The NEMOS wave power plant produces electricity in the middle of the sea. It is the first plant that is expected to perform successfully both technically and economically. Only the 2 x 8 meter floating body is visible from the prototype of the NEMOS wave power plant. Its function is currently being put to the test in Ostend, Belgium. The float is one of two main components of the system. It is attached with flat belts made of steel cables in a plastic matrix to an underground structure that is also free-floating – the latter 16 meters long. Both elements are held in place by anchors. Due to the waves, the floating body moves more than the lower, comparatively sluggish element. The flat belts are pretensioned with a spring. They transfer this relative movement to the generator, which then produces electricity. A simple system that promises success. As the first wave power plant, this could also be economically successful in the future. NEMOS - wave energy plant with great potential "The free-floating system turned out to be the best solution - not only economically, but also technically," reports Dr. Alexander Martha, operations manager of the company of the same name NEMOS, about the results of the associated research project. For example, the loads that the sea exerts on the subsurface structure are lower than with a permanent installation. Installation and maintenance of the wave power plant are also much easier - and therefore cheaper. The project funded by the BMWi with the short title NEMOS is coming to an end with the practical test of the large-scale system in the open sea. Since 2012, the company has been developing the innovative power plant concept and making it practicable together with project partners from research and industry. . . #powergeneration #power #greenpower #engineers #engineering #technology #intelligencego #engineer #intelligence #engenheiro #engenharia #electronic #machine #machining #construction #archtecture #industrial
