A new technology, called CorPower Ocean, promises to tap ocean energy to provide constant energy, complementing solar and wind energy and overcoming the challenge of intermittency.

Advances in renewable energy have transformed landscapes around the world, with wind turbines and solar panels increasingly present. However, the intermittency of these sources has been a major challenge, limiting availability of energy when the sun sets or the winds cease. The solution to this problem may lie in the vastness of the oceans, through a revolutionary technology called CorPower Ocean, which promises to transform the way we generate renewable energy.

In recent years, solar energy and wind energy have expanded rapidly, providing clean and sustainable sources of energy. However, the intermittency of these technologies – that is, the inability to generate energy continuously throughout the day – has been a significant obstacle. An innovation called CorPower Ocean could be the key to this problem, using ocean energy to provide a constant source of energy.

CorPower Ocean is a comparatively light technology, weighing an average of 70 tons and measuring 19 meters high by 9 meters in diameter

CorPower Ocean is a comparatively light technology, weighing an average of 70 tons and measuring 19 meters high by 9 meters in diameter. This technology was developed after more than 40 years of research hydrodynamic, designed to withstand extreme ocean conditions while maximizing energy production.

Inspired by the functioning of the human heart

Inspired by the functioning of the human heart, this innovative buoy is anchored to the ocean floor and adjusted to synchronize with the waves, amplifying the mechanical energy of 1-meter waves to a 3-meter buoy movement. This process not only efficiently captures mechanical energy but also converts it into electricity. Power generation reaches up to 300 kW per unit, with a consistent and low-cost production profile.

The ocean, with its energy density five times greater than that of wind and ten times greater than solar energy

The ocean, with its energy density five times greater than that of wind and ten times greater than solar energy, offers a practically inexhaustible resource. This technology not only harnesses this energy, but also provides continuous, 24/XNUMX energy generation that is carbon-free and highly predictable, due to the phases of the moon that influence the tides.

By filling the gaps left by solar and wind energy, CorPower Ocean could be a lasting solution to the problem of intermittency

By filling the gaps left by solar and wind energy, CorPower Ocean can be a lasting solution to the intermittency problem. With the potential to be spread across global oceans, this technology not only strengthens the energy transition, but also promises a more reliable and constant source of renewable energy.

This exciting discovery opens new horizons for the future of energy in the world, showing that solutions to some of humanity's greatest challenges can come from where we least expect it – the immense and powerful oceans.
