From the Times of Malta via The Future is Green<\/a>, news<\/a> of research in Norway on harnassing wave power:<\/p>\n This energy concept is based on storing potential energy of the incoming waves in several reservoirs placed one above the other. The incoming wave will run up a slope, and on its return it will flow into the reservoirs. After the wave is captured inside the reservoirs, the water will run through the multi stage turbine…<\/p>\n This technology will prevent any start\/stop sequence on the turbine even if only one reservoir is supplying water to the turbine. From tests carried out by this company, a 500m long full scale SSG construction along a coastline with a 15kW\/m wave climate will be able to produce 18 GWh\/year. And this without any plume of smoke in sight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Technorati tags: alternative energy<\/a>, wave power<\/a>, Norway<\/a><\/p>\n
