Wave Power and PowerBuoy®
A New Jersey-based company, namely Ocean Power Technologies, will be installing a water-power buoy system to tie into Hawaii's Oahu Island power grid.
According to PowerBuoy® wave generation system, ocean-going buoy to capture and convert wave energy into low-cost, clean electricity.
"The rising and falling of the waves off shore causes the buoy to move freely up and down. The resultant mechanical stroking is converted via a sophisticated power take-off to drive an electrical generator. The generated power is transmitted ashore via an underwater power cable."
