General information
- Short Summary
- A Dutch company specializing in wave energy conversion technology is looking for suppliers of high-performance generators with specific technical capabilities. These generators will be integrated into the company's Kaizen 2.0 wave energy system. The ideal partner will have off-the-shelf generators or experience in designing and manufacturing generators that meet demanding technical specifications. Collaboration under a supplier agreement is preferred.
- Full Description
-
The company is developing an highly scalable wave energy conversion system designed to generate electricity from ocean waves. To achieve optimal performance, the company is seeking a generator supplier capable of delivering high-performance generators suited for fluctuating mechanical input in a marine environment.
The wave energy conditions for this project are based on research data, primarily using wave patterns from Deltares. The reference wave conditions used for modeling have a height of 0.75m and a period of 4.5s. For more extreme sea states, the system is expected to experience even greater fluctuations in mechanical input, requiring the generator to maintain performance across a broad range of conditions.
Suppliers must be able to deliver generators that meet these criteria and demonstrate reliability in a marine environment. Additionally, the ability to provide prototype units for testing and validation is highly desirable.
The company is looking to establish a long-term supplier agreement to ensure consistent availability of the required generator units. Beyond supply, the company is open to co-development opportunities, allowing for tailored generator designs that optimize performance for this specific wave energy application. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
-
Generator manufacturers, engineering firms with expertise in generator design, or suppliers who can meet the outlined specifications:
- Power Output: Peak power of 10 kW, possibly divided over two generators
- Nominal Power: To be determined based on system efficiency requirements
- RPM: 0 to 250, fluctuating in a sinusoidal pattern
- Torque: 0 to 500 Nm, must withstand high torque without overheating
- Additional Considerations:
- Mechanical brakes to shave off power peaks, or alternative power electronics solutions
- Adaptability for fluctuating wave energy input - Stage of Development
- Already on the market
- Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
