DNV Verify blueWAVE Power Output
Certification authority Det Norske Veritas (DNV) has independently verified the power output of Oceanlinx’s blueWAVE OWC, according to the protocol OSS-312 Certification of Tidal and Wave Energy Converters. Based on the results from the one-third scale MK3PC deployed in early 2010 at Port Kembla, DNV concluded that, for a full-scale device that was tuned to the appropriate wave height and period, the Oceanlinx methodology for calculating the resulting power is accurate. This is a powerful third party validation of Oceanlinx’s rigorous quality control and of the blueWAVE capability to produce an electrical output of 2.5 MW.
