Why are floating generation used in the sea

Open in App
Solution

Floating generators transform oceans energy into megawatts
Dubbed the Oceanlinx, this 1 MW "greenwave" generator uses the oscillating motion of waves to power something called a Denniss-Auld turbine. This unique bi-directional airflow device, custom-built for the Oceanlinx, generates high-pressure air currents to drive an electrical turbine as the waves inside the concrete base pulse up and down.
