At Elleidium we are developing a completely new technological approach to wave energy

Adaptive Displacement

Unleashing the power of our oceans

Fully functional wave energy converter prototype utilising Adaptive Displacement with proven, demonstrable performance

Reliable, repeated doubling of device movement and over 300% increase in max electricity production for the same wave heights and conditions 

Innate storm survivability: Motion amplification without limitation of movement enables circumvention of extreme forces during storm operation

Unique patent pending technology requires just three key low-cost, robust components:

- A Weight     

- A Lock          

- A Coupler

How it works:

Like existing wave energy converter technologies Adaptive Displacement employs a surface float to capture the energy of passing waves

Unlike existing technologies Adaptive Displacement utilises configurable and modular Displacement Adapters to actively change the displacement of that surface float as it is moved by each incident wave

This adaptation of displacement forces every wave to lift the surface float not just once, but twice, enabling the float to capture enough energy to move twice the height of each and every wave

Advantages
The Potential...

Wave energy presents a vast, clean and inexhaustible energy resource with incredible potential to contribute to our global transition to a zero carbon economy. This potential however, currently remains untapped and unused

Wave power

Energy Density and Distribution 

Global distribution of wave energy density per square meter

Global distribution of wave energy density per square meter

Wave power has the highest energy density of any renewable energy source, far greater than wind, solar, biomass or geothermal

 

 This energy density is prevalent across the worlds oceans and wave power has the global energy capacity to meet all of the world’s current electricity needs

Reliability and Predictability 

In addition to their energy density ocean waves are predictably and reliably frequent and always in motion, the ocean is never still

 

This makes wave energy an extremely dependable renewable energy resource, one that will continue to provide clean power 24 hours a day, all year round, even during low wind days and night time hours
