NoviOcean’s HEC generates double the power per sea area compared to wind. 1 MW Hybrid Wave, Wind & Solar Energy Converter, designed and validated for solving energy intermittency with off-phased 24/7 stable energy delivery
How it Works
- The rectangular shape resembles the wave’s shape.
- When in the lowest point, valve closes, holding the float in a fixed position relative the sea floor.
- The wave rises around the float, and up to three meters of the float is locked below water.
- 600 cubic meters of air is trapped below surface.
- Valve opens at correct pressure. 600 tons of lifting force pushes high pressure water onto the Pelton turbine, turning the generator.

On top of the raft, six vertical wind turbines generate 300 kW, complemented by solar panels producing 50-80 kW, for a total output of around 1 MW. The average capacity factor is about 40 percent.
This groundbreaking technology is set to double energy output per square kilometer from offshore wind farms, while ensuring a more stable output – a crucial step towards providing regions with abundant green energy while reducing storage needs.
