Lockheed Martin and Ocean Power Technologies Developing Utility-Scale Wave Power System

Green Car Congress

The “smart” buoys, based on integrated patented hydrodynamics, electronics, energy conversion and computer control systems, capture and convert energy from the natural rising and falling of waves into low-cost, clean electricity. This approach minimizes costs of submarine transmission cable to the shore based interconnection.
