Straumekraft AS has developed a promising new solution that will overcome the most significant challenges for wave power plants.

The wave power machinery is designed to survive extreme waves, and at the same time have high efficiency at normal wave heights. The system is relatively cheap to build, and will have the potential to provide many nations around the world with clean energy, and at the same time be cost competitive. The intrusion to the landscape is minimal, and the device can be used near shore as well as offshore.

 
The patented Straumekraft system: Wave power plants that provides high efficiency in normal wave conditions, and very low efficiency in extreme weather condition. The low efficiency in high waves is the key factor for the survivability of the system.

Straumekraft's unique wave energy technology comprises a patented device that makes the power plant survive extreme waves. Straumekraft’s power plants will be optimized for the most frequent waves at any given locations, providing highest efficiency in normal wave conditions.
