Detailed Description
When I came to Seabased the technology had been repeatedly tested and improved but the industry partnerships, business development and project pipeline, internal organizational structures, supply chain and installation procedures, and refinements to get the product ready for commercialization were not in place. As CEO, I have been instrumental in establishing all of those elements necessary for a commercial deployment.
Company Description
Seabased’s patented technology harnesses the power of ocean waves using wave energy converters comprised of buoys on the surface connected with linear generators resting on the seabed. The waves move the buoys, which move the cable to lift and lower a magnet called a translator in the generator on the sea floor. This generates electrical power. The company has completed two grid-connected wave power demonstration parks and is in the process of final system optimization and third-party certification before full commercialization.
