Sea Waves Helpful For Green Energy

Sea Waves Helpful For Green Energy - Currently, the impact of global warming felt throughout the world that climate change is a major concern of everyone. They are also very concerned about the environmental crisis is mainly happening because it is caused by burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. Coal power plants produce carbon dioxide gas in large quantities. Actually, sustainable resources and environmentally friendly currently widely available. One of the sustainable technologies that are "Kinetic Power Waves", a technology that has been applied or developed in some countries.



For example, company-AW Energy Firlandia generate wave energy device called WaveRoller, which depends on the wave of the sea floor to generate electricity. The inspiration of this green technology was found in 1993 when company founder and professional divers, Rauno Koivusaari're diving in the Baltic Sea. When he found the damaged ship, he was almost hit by a moving door closing and opening due to movement of water waves on the ocean floor. Seeing this incident makes Mr. Koivusaari thought to produce energy by exploiting a wave of the sea floor, and her curiosity was encouraged to create energy AW as his curiosity to create AW Energy.

AW Energy approach using a "wave base" or the movement of water below sea level. To do this, WaveRolLers (Roll Wave) or a plate placed on the seabed so that moving forward and backward. Ocean wave forces on a tool that will generate energy that can we connect with the pump piston so that the electric generator on land that energy can be converted into electrical energy.



According to the company, Waves roll technique is different from other marine technology because this technology is not visible, does not cause noise pollution and is not affected by the storms that may occur. Energy-AW also stated that the equipment and materials used to make Wave Rollers not pollute the environment. For example, they use that is made from plant oils in hydraulic equipment used in the system this innovative wave generator.



Lately, the company tested the Coast Peniche, Portugal with its main target is to produce energy from 10 megawatt irigation Wave Roller in Portugal in the period of two years. In accordance with the approach of his company, AW Energy leader, Mr Tuomo Hyysalo said, "It has been estimated that wave power has the ability accounted for 10 percent of total global electricity needs without generating CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the basic wave which occurred near the coast that is used by WaveRoller is easily available energy sources everywhere because there are along the coastline. "
