A small-scale technology startup in the US was awarded a highly intriguing patent for distributed embedded energy converter technologies (DEEC-Tec), which allows for the conversion of clean energy produced by river and ocean waves, currents, and tides into usable energy for daily use.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a US-based organisation, claims that DEEC-Tec is progressing.
In order to capture ocean wave energy, DEEC-Tec wave energy converters may resemble balloons that contract and inflate, snakes that undulate, or paddles that twist and bend.
One of the remaining significant obstacles the maritime energy sector needs to clear before providing such areas with power is high expenses. And DEEC-adaptable Tec’s templates might provide a particularly economical approach to capture wave energy.
