Abstract

The Wave Plane is a patented Wave Energy device of the overtopping type, designed to capture potential as well as kinetic energy. This is as such different to other overtopping devices, who usually only focus on potential energy. If Wave Plane A/S can deliver the turbine technology to utilize both types of energy the amount of possible captured energy is approximately 50% higher than for devices only being able to utilize the potential energy, and the idea is excellent.
