Ocean power technologies (OPT) announced on 20 August that her daughter U.S. has approved Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) of a planned 1.5 megawatt power plant for wave off the coast of Oregon. This is exhibited in the United States the first FERC license for a wave power plant. The license provides enough power for about 1,000 homes, an authorisation for the use of up to 10 OPT devices.
Construction of the first 150 kilowatt device is nearing completion and the Reedsport, is expected to be approximately 2.5 miles to Oregon coast ready this year for providing. Extension is the wave energy converter from an open steel cylinder down into the ocean from a floating buoy. A piston is halfway down the cylinder and crime waves, the piston up and down moves the application of pressure to sea water along the cylinder, filled bags, the high pressure sea water into a turbine which drives a generator eject to produce electricity.
OPT is cooperative an Oregon-based electric power for this first system from the Department of energy makes Congressional delegation and PNGC with the support of the Oregon, financially. FERC has granted in particular, a 35-year license for grid-connected wave energy production. After the first device is deployed, OPT plans up to nine more devices and connection, network infrastructure, in receipt of additional funding and all necessary regulatory approvals.
