Technology

At Havkraft, we have unlocked the power of the ocean with our groundbreaking OWC (Oscillating Water Column) technology and our patented invention, the Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC). Harnessing the natural rhythm of the sea, our H-WEC is designed to convert the endless motion of waves into clean, renewable energy with unmatched efficiency and reliability. The simplicity and elegance of the OWC principle lie at the heart of our innovation. As waves rise and fall, they push air through a column, driving turbines that generate electricity. The H-WEC refines this process, combining advanced engineering with decades of experience in wave power, resulting in a solution that is both cost-effective and scalable.

Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC)

At the heart of Havkraft’s wave energy technology is the Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC), a groundbreaking Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device that redefines how one can harness the power of ocean waves. The H-WEC’s innovative design transforms the kinetic energy of rotating waves into powerful water pistons, driving a more efficient conversion process. What sets the H-WEC apart is its patented multi-chamber system. This system enables the capture of a broader range of wave frequencies, ensuring that energy is continuously harvested, in a wide range of sea conditions. By maximizing the contribution of each individual wave, the H-WEC delivers a consistent, reliable energy output year-round, even in fluctuating ocean environments.

The modular nature of the H-WEC opens a world of possibilities for wave energy applications. Whether integrated into nearshore or offshore wave farms, deployed along coastal infrastructure, or combined with other renewable technologies, the flexibility of the H-WEC allows for a tailored approach to different marine environments and energy needs. Our revolutionary approach is based on simplicity and scalability, allowing the H-WEC to adapt to different scales of energy demand while remaining cost-effective and easy to maintain. It’s designed to endure the harshest marine conditions, all while converting the relentless power of waves into a clean and sustainable energy source.
