· We can meet the challenges in the proposal with our technology. By doing a staged project plan, we can identify solutions, derisk the project and harvest values from your local wave energy resources. Your waves, your gold! We have sustainable and green technology that fits perfectly in a transition to a low-emission society.

Havkraft
currently has three different ways or solutions for our customers to produce
energy from ocean waves.
1. Add-on – H-WEC installed on existing infrastructure
Our H-WEC is mounted on existing or new infrastructure in the ocean
space. Examples of use here are: fishing vessels for power production in
offseason, harbours, bridges, retrofit on feeding barges for fish farms,
offshore rigs, plus many more.
The unique quality of the H-WEC is its scalability. This enables for
optimizing the energy output to the customers needs. Installed capacity can
therefore range from 15 kW to several MW depending on the infrastructure the
H-WECs are intended to be fitted to and the local wave energy content.
2.
Integrated – H-WEC integrated into marine infrastructure
Integrated solutions entails integrating the H-WEC system into other
products intended for the ocean space.
Piers, feeding barges for fish farms, floating wind turbines, plus many
more.
Integrated solutions are larger production units where all the support
systems are incorporated in the solution. The installed capacity range for one
product varies from 200 kW to 1 MW depending on the infrastructure the H-WECs
are intended to be into to and the local wave energy content. Several products
can be installed together to form a utility scale power park and hence have a
capacity of several MW.
3. Stand-alone – Havkraft OceanONE
The OceanONE is a powerplant on its one. It is a complete solution with
the sole purpose of optimum energy production. The powerplant extracts energy from
(A) a broad range of frequencies and (B) a wide absorption width on the
incoming waves. This provides a small footprint on the production of a large
volume of energy. The density of wave energy makes it up to 50 times more area
efficient per MW than solar energy. This is the kind of space efficiency that
technologies need to achieve, in order to decrease the negative impact that
human activities inflict on biodiversity.
The installed capacity for one OceanONE is typically 500 kW. Several
products can be installed together to form a utility scale power park and hence
have a capacity of several MW.
We are in
the midst of one of the greatest paradigm shifts in world history. The pace of
innovation is high, and the changes are coming faster and faster. The
transition to green energy solutions is reaping both applause and despair. My appeal
is that we cannot solve the challenges of the future with yesterday's mindset.
We must think in a new way.
If we focus
on nature, we have a good reference factor. How long should a power plant last
to be sustainable? How much space can we use in nature for power plants and
line networks? What price must we accept for sustainable energy? How should the
power plants be designed so as not to damage biological diversity?
We at
Havkraft strive to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. This puts
a lot of pressure on how we develop our solutions and value chains. There are
no shortcuts for us, as we work from standards that have not yet been set. We
are pioneers. What we do today will be official policy tomorrow. There will be
a requirement for a long service life on power plants. There will be
requirements for the use of materials that do not harm the environment. There
will be requirements for area-efficient technology. There will be a requirement
for the use of local energy where this is possible. There will be preferring
for origin-guarantees and short-distance solutions. This is just to note.
For you as
a customer, you should be sure that investing in solutions from Havkraft is
something you can reap the benefits of in many ways. Not only will you get
green, renewable and sustainable energy from the ocean, but you will also gain
a reputation from choosing "the next" over "the previous". We
at Havkraft will revolutionize the power industry and create the paradigm shift
the world is waiting for. The potential for wave power is enormous, and the
positive impact on the planet also as electricity is the very basis for
development, welfare and quality of life across the globe.
More and
more companies say that they must adapt, and if they do not adjust in a
sustainable direction in time here is no future. There is no reason to choose
polluting solutions if clean solutions are a good alternative. We now see a
clear tendency for companies that are innovative and adopt solutions early to
reap great benefits, both in the short and long term.
The ocean
is our greatest resource, and we at Havkraft have an enormous respect for it.
We want to help ensure that our oceans become a continuous resource, and not
that our generation will be known to be the one who did irreparable damage.
Nature-friendly and area-efficient energy from the waves is part of the
solution, and you as a customer are crucial to ensure the phasing in of this
future-oriented energy source.
