Kapal Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Gelombang

Berikut ini ada beberapa ide tentang pembangkitan energi dari gelombang laut menggunakan kapal laut.

Fraunhofer Center for Manufacturing Innovation

• Harvests wave energy with daily trips to offshore locations and returns back to port for delivery to the grid
• Energy is stored locally on the vessel during harvesting phase
• Energy is placed on the grid during periods of high demand (normally mid-day)
• Eliminates expensive undersea power cables needed for other wave energy technologies
• Can be moved safely to port during severe storms
• Overcomes regulatory hurdles by not being a permanent structure
