This is the NWEC stage 1 project summary report for the Albatern "WaveNET Series 12" project. Albatern Ltd is the developer of the WaveNET array system for wave energy conversion.
The array is constructed of hexagonally interconnected Squid modules, each consisting of three articulated link arms connected together in a star formation at a central node with a surface piercing central riser. Passing waves induce motion at the articulated joints, and this relative motion is converted to electrical power via a hydraulic take-off system.
