Macroshaft Pty Ltd. (Australia) announced the installation of a new power plant that operates in the open ocean and forms part of a new technology that extracts electrical power from wave motion. After harnessing the power, transmission from the open sea to land takes place in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) sub-sea cables. On land, the HVDC cables terminate in converter stations, which perform the role of "pollution-free power stations."
The power source is particularly well suited for the US west coast and for the Asiatic economies along the Pacific Rim. Macroshaft owns the technology involved. Technical difficulties of a rather stubborn nature were overcome to accomplish the conversion of wave energy into electricity, in the open ocean and to transport the power across both shallow and deep-water oceans. Out in the ocean, the new wave energy power plants line up in FEED nets (WEPP FEED©). The WEPP FEED© will be visible from the air as dotted lines of golden islets in the world's oceans.
