The Waveroller technology exploits surge phenomenon, a strong, ubiquitous and consistent natural phenomenon.

WaveRoller

A WaveRoller device is a plate anchored on the sea bottom by its lower part. The back and forth movement of surge moves the plate, and the kinetic energy produced is collected by a piston pump. This energy can be converted to electricity by a closed hydraulic system in combination with a hydraulic motor/generator system.
WaveRoller is a modular concept. In practice this means that the plant capacity is formed by connecting a number of production modules into a WaveRoller plant. Each module consists of 3-5 wave elements installed into a common generation system.
Due to the modular design, the WaveRoller plant can be taken into production gradually, module by module. Thus the scalability is good, and there is no technological upper limit for the plant capacity. Modules are also easily maintained and electricity production of the plant can continue also during module maintenance.

Complementary technology for Offshore Wave and Wind Energy Technologies giving synergy benefits in sharing resources.

Case can be built on the fact that WaveRollers are utilizing different part of the ocean than offshore based wind and wave energy technologies. When combined together these technologies can integrate in an renewable energy “HUB” where offshore technologies are combined with near shore WaveRoller technology. Attractive benefits are achieved both economically and environmentally

• Land infrastructure cost is shared
• More effective land usage for transformers etc.
• No visual impact close to the shoreline is occurring because of the underwater installed WaveRoller device
