MS Havkraft H-WEC

In 2014 and 2015 we demonstrated a complete off-grid 250 kW OceanOne powerplant in an open sea-environment at the Stad ocean in Norway, surviving storms and hurricanes. This was the first large-scale demonstration of the Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC) with power production, the core module in any OceanOne solution.
