Oscilla Power’s Triton wave energy converter (WEC) is a multi-mode,
two-body point absorber with four key advantages over other WECs:
MULTIMODE
ENERGY CAPTURE
Triton’s three-tendon architecture provides a unique ability to capture energy from the ocean in all six degrees of freedom (heave, pitch, surge, sway, roll, and yaw) enabling power to be produced across a very wide range of wave conditions. The optimized surface float geometry and ring-shaped reaction structure works together to amplify this effect and increase generated power.
HIGH EFFICIENCY ENERGY CAPTURE & CONVERSION
Oscilla Power has focused on engineering a high-reliability drivetrain that enables mechanical to electrical power conversion with high efficiency and, uniquely in the wave energy space, low variability and high power-quality.
LOW COST
"TOW AND DROP" INSTALLATION
Because the Triton uses flexible tendons to connect the float to the submerged reaction ring, this allows the system to be installed quickly by readily available marine vessels. These self-deployment functions remove the need for specialized vessels or heavy lift equipment.
HIGH SURVIVABILITY AND RELIABILITY
Triton has been engineered to withstand the most extreme storm conditions. The system employs a validated approach to automatically submerge just below the surface when experiencing extreme waves.
