CURRENT PROJECTS UNDERWAY FOR OGBA

 

USA

NPC is working closely with the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) at University of Hawaii on partnership efforts that include funding and development of a demonstration Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) project featuring NPC’s patent-pending ocean Buoy Grid Array technology.

Product Features

A system and method for Generating Electricity using a buoy array in the open ocean currents.  Features a simple, mechanical power take-off approach and a unique array management structure.

Can be used in conjunction with the NPC FWT to increase the output and provide fresh water at the same time.

 

  • Novel in its ability to manage multiple buoys in a hexagonal array, mitigating the risk of damage from severe ocean conditions.

  • Simple, mechanical point -absorber energy transfer buoy component with minimal moving parts reduces cost and complexity;

  • Vertical, free-floating, bottom weighted central spars with deep water stabilization ;

  • Centralized power distribution system  to accommodate multiple units in an array;

  • Articulating array management structure to keep multiple buoy units equidistant;

  • Sprag clutch drive and generator system effectively captures the vertical up and down movement of the energy transfer;

  • Impervious to floating debris and garbage.
