The Phase III competitors have been hard at work developing their DEEC-Tec concepts in advance of the final event in March. Today, we’re spotlighting finalist EBB:FLOW.
The EBB:FLOW team from Braintree, Massachusetts brings together experience in marine renewables, smart materials, and U.S. regulatory and market landscapes to advance a novel direct generation wave energy technology.
The team’s technology is a Dielectric Fluid Generator comprising of a set of pouches that act as variable capacitors when an external load is applied. As the fluid-filled pouches are compressed and expanded by the action of ocean waves, their cyclical charging and discharging generates electricity.
EBB:FLOW will present on their technology at the InDEEP Final Forum in March in pursuit of winning the grand prize.
