Oceanlinx MK3

The Mk3 Pre-Commercial, was a 1/3 scale demonstration device of the fully commercial blueWAVE design, but was designed to be limited in its life, operations, and scale to suit both the environment at Port Kembla and its purpose as a demonstration of the technology. While the MK3PC was designed for a shorter than normal life, it served the specific function of verifying the performance of the Oceanlinx blueWAVE product in open ocean conditions, as well as its ability to provide acceptable grid-quality power to an established electricity retailer.
