CorPower Ocean's energy system that works like a heart stands out for being creative and, at the same time, helping to generate renewable energy in a sustainable way. The practice is carried out based on the strength of sea waves and transformed into energy potential to serve the population.

The company CorPower Ocean, a reference in Sweden, has attracted attention in the market for developing a sustainable practice of renewable energy generation. The team realized that ocean waves can act as a kind of heart: by pumping water, the generated force can be transformed into electricity, helping the surrounding cities in a way that minimally affects the environment.

CorPower Ocean's system for renewable energy generation is truly inspired by the workings of the heart and aims to align with UN expectations

At the UN, the United Nations, the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 were developed.

Among them, the need to move towards a more sustainable society based on investment in renewable energy was established. Several countries are contributing to this practice by adopting sustainable processes.

That's why CorPower Ocean started looking for ways to also contribute to this movement, finding in the power of ocean waves the ideal solution to generate electricity in a sustainable way.

In practical terms, the system works from a converter that first captures wave energy and, when processing it, transforms it into electricity.

The method is very practical when used in the open sea due to the sensors of the converter which, as it is floating, can absorb energy coming from all directions, resulting in a larger product for the population to use.

CorPower Ocean, speaking about the innovative system for renewable energy generation, said: “Our wave energy converters use a pre-tension system to pull the float down. Ripples from the waves push the buoy up, while stored pressure provides feedback to push the buoy down. This results in equal energy output in both directions.”

The system, in addition to being sustainable and generating electricity with minimal impact on the environment, is also cheap and has the potential to become popular.

In practice, this renewable energy system developed by CorPower Ocean has a low cost, which could take it to other parts of the world, if its efficiency is proven in the long term.

In addition, the design was thought to be practical and efficient. In this way, when it is assembled, it can be solved in a few steps and it will be ready to generate electricity in a short time.

All the advantages thought of, including, in no way affect the practicality of the system. According to the CEO of CorPower Ocean, Patrik Möller, the converter is capable of producing five times more energy per ton than other systems that have similar operation, which demonstrates its advantage on different fronts.

It is noteworthy that the idea of ​​basing it on the functioning of a heart, with the issue of pumping, has a strong theoretical basis for the theory to be efficient.

The model was inspired by the studies developed by Stig Lundbäck, a famous cardiologist specializing in cardiac pumping. By describing the steps that guide the process well, the CorPower Ocean team was able to understand how to transform the biological field theory into something functional for physics itself, and it worked.

The idea of ​​turning ocean waves into renewable energy is revolutionary. In addition to being creative, using the workings of the heart as a basis, it is also sustainable and highly efficient.
