About H-WEC and OWC

Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC)

Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC) is a Norwegian-developed technology designed to extract energy from ocean waves. The solution is based on extensive experience from the offshore and maritime industry and is designed to deliver renewable power in a robust and scalable manner.

H-WEC utilizes the OWC technology where the movements of the ocean is creating water pistons that in turn generate a pulsating pressure that drives turbines and generators. The technology is integrated into a modular concept that can be used in various applications, both as a standalone energy producer and in combination with other renewable energy sources.

Key Benefits

Advantages of H-WEC

  • Clean energy: Utilizes the natural power of the sea, completely without emissions.
  • Modular and scalable: Converters can be adapted to the customer’s needs, reflected in the number of chambers.
  • Robust technology: Developed with consideration for challenging conditions along the Norwegian coast.
  • Predictable production: Wave power has a more stable production profile than wind and solar in many areas.
  • Placement close to demand: Can supply electricity to oil and gas facilities, operational rigs, fish farming facilities, or increase production from wind farms.
  • Compatible with hybrid solutions: Can be combined with solar, wind, and batteries to provide a balanced energy supply.
