The background to Crestwingens high absorber efficiency   Crestwing Wave Energy Converter (WEC) looks like a traditional floating concept; its basic structure is simple, consisting of two flat floats hinged together. Through a power take off system (PTO) the relative motion between the two floats is utilized into production of electricity. In the following illustration of the WEC's operation is it only during phase 3 and 4 the energy is produced. This is in contrast to traditional floating concepts, where both upward and downward movement utilized, which is part of the background for Crestwing´s high efficiency.         Extensive onshore development as a natural precondition   From Waveenergyfyn´s experience in the development of marine structures, we see an extensive onshore development as a natural prerequisite for testing of the pilot WEC at sea.   Our goal is that the concepts technical and economic viability must be corrected before the start of heavy offshore investment programs. Start of large offshore development work without adequate onshore optimization and documentation may result in risky investments and unnecessary loss of time.
