A project for

development of
wave energy for

The
drives are a key
feature in the development of wave-power breakwater
projects around Europe.
Inverness based Wavegen, part of Voith Siemens Hydro
Power Generation, is a wave energy company dedicated to
the development of marine renewable energy technology.
In 2000, Wavegen became the first company to connect a
commercial scale wave energy plant to the grid.
On the Isle of
Islay, off the west coast of Scotland, Wavegen has an inclined
oscillating water column (OWC) generating facility that is used
both for generating power and for testing new designs of
Wells turbine generators.
Two 250 kW counter-rotating turbines have been generating
power for several years at this ‘Limpet’ (land installed marine
powered energy transformer) unit, which utilises the power of
a surge-dominated wave f
