Ocean Energy - Wave Power Station
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2009
- The functionality of the wave power station developed by Voith Hydro (www.voith.com). Animation produced by the company "i-explain" ( i-explain.at). This video explains the function of the Wave Power Station with Wells turbine. This plant was shut down. It was built mainly as a test plant. There is a new bigger plant in Spain, near Bilbao - Mutriku Wave Power Plant. (tethys.pnnl.gov/annex-iv-site...) Yes, this video is old, but it still explains the functionality of this power plant, so please don`t complain about it.

theAneja, I don't care how old the vid is. It is, as you say, an excellent, very clear and concise explanation of the wave-driven power generator system. I am grateful you took the time to share it, and I use it in my classes along with other videos on alternative power-generation.
BTW, Don't worry about the whiners....they usually don't contribute anything except useless noise.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words!
I second that. The naysayers usually have IQs of 80 or lower.
Not sure of my IQ, but it seems insane that this tech is not more popular / commercial. What is the problem? Why such low market acceptance??
As I understand it, the main problem is cost. That large concrete structure costs a lot, especially using specialised equipment to construct it in an environment with big waves. On top of that you have high design costs for one-off developments. There is hope that as the design matures, the design costs will drop and efficiency will rise, so that this will eventually compete with other renewable energy sources.
David Schmidt good
Woah Yt , it seriously took you 11 yrs to recommend this.
Yea me too.
Right?
Yes
yea.. youtube sucks
Ya
Even after 11 years, he's still liking comments. Bravo!
but he still hasn't liked yours RIP
The channel is liking comments eleven years after posting the video, that is one hell of a dedicated person(s) behind the channel.
it is a bot
When I was a kid, I saw this technology in a popular science magazine. At the time they said if we did this with just 7% of the oceans, we could power the world. I keep trying to explain this to people and find good demonstrations of it (Thank you for this) I have no idea why this is never part of the discussion.
@Chris C: Thank you for your comment. This technology is still very new. There is a lot of research and development in this field. For harvesting the wave energy, the waves have to possess a lot of kinetic energy, which is not the fact everywhere globally.
Thats why we will never see it.
This was a pioneering technology that was built and commissioned in around 2001 on the island of Islay. It worked and there have been many improvements since by other companies
Metal components of turbine: “ahhh energy production!”
Salt corrosion from saltwater: “am I a joke to you”
They probably have that sorted out with alloys or special coating. Warships last a fair bit in sea after all, so maintaining a few turbine blades shouldn't be a problem.
@@durt214 high quality plastics maybe?
@@Cam-sv3hj Possibly, since it's supposed to come into contact with air mostly, perhaps some sea water mist. Perhaps some textile reinforced plastic/resin based composites for the blades, or practically any other non-corroding material could be used.
@@computercrazies I'm fairly certain the thousands of engineers already have all that covered and have thought about using these new materials xd
316l grade stainless can work
1. The video declares that a Voith Wave Power Station was setup as of 2009 when the video was published on TH-cam, yet it makes no mention of exactly how much power that station produced. This is a concern.
2. The video makes no mention of tidal sea level changes - the station in the video shows no ability to traverse up or down to match the vertical delta of 5-10 feet (1.5-3 m), which means max power happens at high tide and min at low tide.
3. The video mentions that "tidal power" represents 700 nuclear plants - but fails to point out that this would require every linear foot of coastline be covered with wave power stations. The video does not give any realistic estimates of how many power stations would be required to power, say, New York City.
4. It's been 11 years - where is this technology today?
Here's the wikipedia entry regarding the wave power project: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavegen
It notes that "In March 2013 Voith Hydro decided to close down Wavegen choosing to concentrate on tidal power projects."
So much for wavegen power stations.
Looking at this simulation alone you know the efficiency is crap
@@RobbyBoy167 Yup, because air is compressible, and the volume between the water and the turbine is large...
I wonder though, if we could improve it by moving the turbine in the vertical water column. Sure, it would still be intermittent, uncontrollable, and not very effective, and it would need a lot of maintenance due to the salty water. I just wonder if it could be more efficient than what is presented here.
@@jm56z43 the maintenance has to be high. You'd have to have a diver to go in to clean it from debris and junk. Also you'd have to have a special medal or plastic turbines. That's a lot of cost for how much electricity?
@@christianlw5252 I never said I supported the idea. I was just wondering how much more power it could output - without even hoping for any efficiency.
It's been 11 years since this amazing video uploaded and today I was just recommended :(
Great idea...I’ve been following wave and water flow turbines using natural rise and fall of coastal sea and river levels. Never thought about creating air flows from wave action.
I'd be interested in know the maintenance demands for this generator. Specifically with effects of corrosion from constant moisture and sea salt exposure.
Ever heard of a boat? Just look up there.
@J Will. Thank you for your comment. We are working at the moment on video about Mutriku Commercial Wave Power Plant, which was opened in 2011. We hope that we will get some real data about maintenance costs.
Turbine (alloys like stainless steel)
The body (Coatings, etc)
@@marcboutilier7044 Yes, there 2 that I know of, MP-39-N and MP-59-N I believe developed by the US Navy and produced by Carpenertown Steel.
@@davidschwartz5127 sweet
it's a very helpful video: it really helps to have a clear idea of how energy is produced thanks to the waves. thank you so much!!
the quality is pretty good for a vid that is over a decade old, I am having more fun with this than the other informative videos, it's like the cartoon about pulleys I watched, it's so satisfying
After 10 years.. In my recommendation 😂
True
What's wrong with that?
You are approaching the end of the Internet....
The power of internet, what we say or do stays for ever! Warning!
After 11
Recommendations after 11 years but still worth watching.
WOW, more than 10 years this presentation is online. Great !
Straight to the point, explained very clearly, and no bla bla bla bla bla of 20 minutes. Thank you!
clear and concise.
this cleared my doubts
thank you sir!
I didn't knew I would find this video again cause I just watched this before. A long time ago and then got recommended back to me that's like crazy
Excellent work, thank you for your sharing information.
This is great video.. please keep on posting updates..
Background reminds me Windows Xp Classic Wallpaper BTW Video is quite Informative Great Work
...
Excellent ! So simple and brilliant 😀
Finally got this topic..
Many educational sites wr lacking this topic. THANXXXXXXX a lottttt☺️☺️☺️☺️
yes Best project for marine areas in India ... i was try to recommend this PROJECT
Been waiting for this... for decades.
Good job by the animators "i-explain". As soon as I saw the "lay of the land" with the isolated houses and their building features I thought it reminded me a lot of the north of Scotland. I will look up this turbine design about that bidirectional power flow.
Dear Charlie Ross, thank you for your kind words. We appreciate it very much.🤩
Brilliant idea... Applicable in every coastal areas, India should also try this.
Absolutely beautiful and practical concept. A true celebration of science and engineering.
11 years ago: "this will revolutionize the future!"
today: "still garbage"
amaizing
@ChillyCloth Quite easy to explain: The military needs the nuclear power plant technology because of the plutonium used/needed in nukes. So green / CO2-free technology will never have this status.
And: I don't think that this is garbage.
In my opinion it has only two additional problems:
a) The power is made were its not need (means on the coast).
b) "Pumping/sucking" air in and out is loud.
Both "issues" are easy solvable.
@@v.gedace1519 that is just dumb. the world doesn't constantly consume fissile materials for nuclear weapons. Nuke aren't ordinary artillery shells. when was the last time a nuke was used in conflict? the nuclear material currently deployed on missile are infinitely recyclable once their delivery vehicle (ballistic missiles, cruise missiles etc) is decommissioned due to old age. if the time comes that we need more nuke warhead, it means apocalypse has already transpired. and we wont be needing nukes for the handful of humans scurrying upon the ruins of our cities.
@@juliosunga3530 You should read comments carefully. In particular, mine.
I wrote about the nuclear power plant technology. The military has an interest to keep the technology alive.
Regardless of the reason it seems to be needed.
(Aka replacing decayed plutonium, adding new (types of) nuclear weapons to the arsenal or whatever the military can think of ...)
Because otherwise they would not design, build and run special nuclear power plants that provides more weapons grade plutonium than the "standard" nuclear power plants.
From a military point of view, there is always a reason to keep the technology and with it the "business" alive, in order to get weapons grade plutonium quickly (and as cheap as possible).
@@v.gedace1519 You're a moron.
> The military has an interest to keep the technology alive. Regardless of the reason it seems to be needed.
Do you *seriously* believe that nuclear technology will somehow be "lost" if companies stop building commercial power plants?
> Aka replacing decayed plutonium, adding new (types of) nuclear weapons to the arsenal or whatever the military can think of...
Nuclear waste can't be used in nuclear weapons. In fact, the material that comes out of a power plant is *LESS* suitable for nukes than the material that went in.
> Because otherwise they would not design, build and run special nuclear power plants that provides more weapons grade plutonium than the "standard" nuclear power plants.
The "special" plants you're talking about have a name. They're called "Nuclear Enrichment Facilities". And, in fact, it is *highly illegal* to build or operate such a plant, precisely *BECAUSE* the material they produce can be used in nuclear weapons. In fact, if you'd pay attention to the real world instead of whatever fantasy you've constructed in your head, you'd see that a lot of power companies *and* environmentalist groups are lobbying the government to allow commercial enrichment facilities, because they provide a simple and effective way to recycle nuclear waste (as opposed to the current plan of burying it and hoping). But the answer has always been "no", because nukes. (Edit: well, it seems there was one commercial enrichment facility built in 2009 as a pilot project. It's right when the military is *reducing* their stockpile of nukes, though, so somehow, I still highly doubt that it's being used to create nuclear weapons.)
> From a military point of view, there is always a reason to keep the technology and with it the "business" alive, in order to get weapons grade plutonium quickly (and as cheap as possible).
And again we come back to the twin delusions that commercial power plants somehow produce weapons-grade plutonium, and that it's possible to "lose" the technology to produce it if companies stop building commercial nuclear power plants. Unbelievable.
Nice and well explained!!!
I don't know why youtube recommended this to me but I like it.
great idea, but the cost of construction verses the relatively low power output yield probably is the reason it was abandoned ... great video!
Love this kind of videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello
Simple yet ingenious 👍
Was lucky enough to see the station before it was decommissioned and demolished... The noise was incredible!
We are in a world of renovations, keep it up guys!
June 23, 2009? Now already August 18, 2019. It's already more than 10 years. Why is it taking you so long to give me this recommendation, youtube?
A new video about the functional statement of the Wells Turbine is in progress
This is amazing why has this not been more widely used in the past 11 years????
@ChrisZAUR: Hi Chris, thank you for your question. This technology is still in its early stages. Nevertheless, a wave power plant with this technology went into operation in 2011. It is in the town of Mutriku, in the Basque Country in Spain. You can also visit this facility (www.mutriku.eus/en/tourism/mutriku/olatu-planta). There is a lot of research going on in this area, but it takes time.
Unbelievable explanation ❤
It doesn´t matter the video is from 2009. The idea is great anyway. But it seems Voith Hydro does prefer tidal power stations now.
joe; couldn't imagine it to be incredibly expensive.
The physics of this idea would really be more applicable at very small scales. Like drinking straw sizes. There just isn’t enough time between waves for a highly compressible media like air to get a continuous drive going.
The thing here is a large concrete structure and would be very expensive.
You can make these things cheaper. Imagine for example using standard POM tubing mounted vertical in the shore line with a turbin higher up in a a venturi constriction. This would be fare less expensive and space effective.
Everyday it amazes how every smartass on youtube is an impolite bastard. I totally agree that the concept is probably not much worth but didn't your mama teach you manners
i totally see the irony that my comment itself is not very polite
They should implement this in most of the coastal cities. It doesn't even look complicated to build.
It would probably be useful in areas with hurricanes too
Scienctist found that it's impossible to get energy out of this method and have abandond it, it's explained indepth as to the reason why.
It's easy to see that the airflow this contraption would create wouldn't be powerful enough to do anything with. Plus the salty environment would destroy any metal/electrical structures within months.
The power plant visualized in this movie was in operation between 2008 and 2018 on Island Islay and was primarily an R&D site. It had two turbines with 500kW each. There is a Wave Power Plant in Mutriku, Basque Land in Spain. It is built into the wave breaker. It was commissioned in 2011. It is designed for 295 kW with 16 turbines. You can also visit it.
They do a lot of R&D in this field (also offshore).
Congratulations, for the sustainable project...
@CarroGarÇom : There is a power plant using this technology built into a breakwater.
In the year 2011, the Basque Energy Agency commissioned it in the bay of Mutriku in the Bay of Biscay. It is the world's first breakwater wave power plant with a multiple turbine arrangement. The plant has a capacity of 296 kW from 16 turbo generator sets.
Of course, I assume this is a very simplified model to make it very easy for anyone to understand, good job.👍👍👍
Because sea = corrosion. Such turbines have to be very well protected, for sure...among other details... 👍👍👍
It can be used not only to generate electricity but also as a wave breaker to prevent coastal erosion.
broooooooooooooooooofucking legend
this is working ACTUALLY just like this in Mutriku, Euskadi
Awesome video and commentary 👌
amazing quality
The problem is this need a high wave to push the air to make the plan efficient, which is usually come with strong wind. And wind turbine is better.
I thought i am watching this for the first time when I found this video has already been liked
Amazing innovative technology to use ocean energy for generating electricity. Very informative video
Love the engineering concept. I'm curious how does this system accommodate for tidal changes in water levels? Water levels can vary by as much as 30 or 40 ft from high to low tide along the Bay of Fundy, could this be adapted?
Yes it should be ok. The under water inlet opening would be at the lowest possible water level.
Wtf just today my lecturer thought me this
And this video came in my recommendation today itself
Big tech is listening your phone mic .. key words are constantly recorded and processed by algorithms .
Nicely explained.
@Alparslan Korkmaz: Thank you very much for your nice words!
I love this video my class and I watched this to learn about Energy good job you got a class of 23 students to watch your video!
Hello Livi! Thank you so much for your comment. We are very honored that the students like yours find it interesting enough to watch it. At the moment we are working on further videos which will explain the "Oscillating Water Column" concept more in detail as well as the explanation of the Wells Turbine. Also, the explanation of further (mostly unknown) kinds of sustainable technologies are in the pipeline. Unfortunately, the production of this kind of 3D explainer videos is very difficult and time-consuming, but we will do our best to publish the videos as soon as possible.
Ideas for the Green Planet we are now working on sustainable energy! So this could be a good help
How many of these would be needed to replace “700 to 800” nuclear plants? What are the ramifications of a large hurricane striking these units(time to get back online, ecological damage)? Do you have actual photos of what a unit looks like, showing the impact on the scenery? Are there geographical restrictions on where these are useful?
You are asking just the right questions, I wanted to know the same, especially the first one
Say it is USA:
2400 dams produced 7% of the national electricity power while 60 nuclear plants producing 20 precent national electricity power. Obviously there is a significant gap but if you consider the levelized cost quantity might make a difference
Bla bla bla hurricanes... Talk about Fukushima....kkkk
@@MrJamdes Not every single inch of Japan (one of the most active seismic regions on the planet) is affected my earthquakes. Plus the IPCC already has said nuclear energy is key for reducing CO2 (and at the same time provide large amount of energy with a lower cost, just ook at Germany, the Champion of green energy and his overpriced energy bill).
You know, even Arabs are building GenIV nuclear plants... Europe and EEUU are are digging their grave with this sentimental backwards policies based on populism (yeah, close Germany's nuclear plants because Fukushima... Very intellligent, we all know it was because of the Green Party).
after 11 year old video but amazing animation
Great greenworld idea.It can be evaluated alternate methods
Oh this is quite interesting alternative to other wave power that directly rely on the waves and water motion rather than air pressure.
We all need this types of system of power generation.
No, inferior and inconsistent
Hi, and thank you for sharing such great ideas, now this Scottish Island Eyler...? I was not able to find it on google maps, and would love to see the real thing. Any links, or advise on locating this island? thanks again.

Cool video plz keep uploading more..
I love this idea, I could've never thought of that. Keep up the good work!
No poor idea, do to efficiently and the amount of energy you use to make it that you will never get back.
I'd replace the turbine by a pressure piston (similar to a steam locomotive)
In theory it should be more efficient as more of the high pressure air will be used to perform work due to the enclosed nature of a piston drive. The downside being increased friction & some energy loss but I think the overall increased work should make up for it.. .
It appears very environmentally friendly! What is your power output?
500KW
Not bad. Not bad.
MegaOcean22 It needs numbers yes
Richard Clutterbuck so it can be made out of composites then. No big deal.
Peak power, continuous power, rated power?
Dobrá práce ve druhém videu je to lépe vysvětleno ok :)
Of all the alternative energy idea's I've seen this is by far the most practical, and most likely the most cost effective.
It's ideas like this that could save our world!!! ♥️♥️
Uh Uh. The world will be fine, it'll be just the world less one species after we're gone.
- So you prefer water or air for the power station?
- Yes
I've never seen this type of wave engergy creation.... Why are we not doing this? Genius idea!
@dthamilton79 : It was implemented in Wave Power Plant in Mutrku/Spain/Europe. There is also a R&D station.
The idea is very nice. I am doing research on producing electricity from waves.
@The Beacon: Great. The more people spread different ideas for using energy from the waves, the better! :)
While I like the "free" energy aspect of this idea, the air mass is small and the turbine blades of the Wells turbine have high drag, making this a very inefficient power source.
VOITH IS IN MY TOWN
how well does it work?
@@Bushy_P good
Wow! A great idea.
Great job
This is not at all what I was expecting... I was expecting something to do with water pressure, but instead I got an explanation for what's basically an inferior wind turbine. I like the idea of the technology, but depending on weather conditions(which are an insurmountable variable), both land, construction and maintenance would cost far too much for the fact that the facility wouldn't really work at low tide, and even if you peaked out some kind of super-battery, the biggest problem is the fall and winter seasons, where you're pretty much always at low tide. It's ultimately inferior to solar power and nuclear energy(I support both).
There are other problems, but I will say this, since some in the comments aren't very kind:
The idea is worth a shot as an additive source of electrical power. If one lives on on the coast and not in a commercial district, it would be worth having that extra source of energy. You could probably use it to supplement power outages as a back-up generator. It'd be grossly inefficient for a rural area, but if you own seaside property, and are keen to remove the beach, this is an option available to a select few.
These would be great... Imagine if they had a mechanism that could also pull and clean litter and plastic debris from the shoreline too!
Ryan Lloyd you should check About seabim
Seabin
Yay! And a special chamber for adopting seal pups who've lost their mommies. Aww..

Best of luck for everything!
@ M. Catalina Romero : All the best for you! 👏
TH-cam recommendation huddle. Sup guys.
sup,
Elegant.
I love your channel
Excellent concept and contribution to ocean energy.
The first barrier to ocean power is cost of transmission. The second is cost of generation. We're focused on solving both and the tech is finally coming online. Our tech is barely in it's infancy, but our predictions show total generation and transmission costs below 25% of the current average.
@ElectroFish: It is great that you are working on this issue! Keep on!
@@IdeasfortheGreenPlanet We've now posted our provisional patents and we're submitting our preliminary work for academic review.
darkskyinnovation.com/patents.html
Approximately after 10 years in my recommendation can somebody tell me what is going on.
A new video about the functional statement of the Wells Turbine is in progress
TH-cam is promoting green energy schemes to viewers because they politically support the climate crisis nonsense in the media.
Didn't catch the religious comment? "Harmful greenhouse gasses."
Hey! Firstly this is awesome! Secondly, I'd like to ask a question: Are bigger waves producing more energy or something?
it's basically the higher or lower it goes the more the turbine spins, one of these maybe able to power a house or two but line them up on the coastline and you can power a city maybe even a state, I don't know the energy potential though if it's even enough
cmb271 If they increase the propeller size and then decrease the channel through which the water flows, more air is being forced through in a the same amount of time, so you'd have a faster turbine and a higher output.
wouldn't the decreasing the size of the channel reduce the ability for the air pressure to flow in and out, the properties of fluid dynamics would cause it to flow to the point of least resistance and decreasing the channel will increase the resistance to the point where the water will simply find a lower pressure point.
Oh, good point. I didn't think about how there would be less in it, I assumed that the same amount would be forced through.
Perhaps we should increase the size of the channel, then make the turbine smaller?
That could possibly work, it would spin it at a faster RPM but would result in lower torque so less ability to spin a large scale generator, you got to engineer it to have enough force to drive the turbine at a decent speed and not burn up the components to quickly, remember these should be a low maintenance type deal so less power but higher reliability is key assuming it's generating enough energy.
The problem is humanity as a whole is wasteful with energy because it's abundant, for this to work we'd need to change our habits and the only way for that to happen is government policy (please no) or a community of sorts whos main goal is to reduce there footprint while living under most social norms.
Молодцы!!!
Очень крутая идея!
Извините, но что крутого в этом? Если бы видео было более честным, тогда разным цветом показали бы сжимаемость материалов. Вода которая практически не сжимается, и воздух который сжимается во много раз. Красивая, но бесполезная конструкция.
Thanks for this video. Now that you're replying to comments may I have your opinion on the Tidal wave turbine model by companies like Orbital Marine Power (previously Scotrenewables)?
here's an idea , use x2 turbines designed for optimum efficiency , use large 1 way flap valves (carbon fiber) for one way
airflow into each turbine . Use semiconductors to disconnect the load from each generator , when the flaps are closed.
Add a few batteries so the transient outputs can be smoothed out , for connection to the grid.
Each one delivers about 34kw during 1800 hours a year. A single windmill can deliver up to 2000kw during 3000 hours a year.
source ?
Excellent way to explain 👌👌👏👏
@TARUNDEEP KAUR : Thank you very much! 😍
This is amazing 👍👍👍👍
Air is compressible.so it wont rotate the turbine unless the air pressure is very high.
Better connect a reciprocating piston with a fluid medium.
@Sho Yu Weeni what if u make the turbines smaller?
heck why not just ditch the air thing and dunk the whole system under water? waves still go up'n down right?
@@phoboss950 correct. A different wave-action generator would be way better.
Вот именно. Что бы воздух начал крутить турбину, давление воздуха должно быть существенным а сопротивление турбины при вращении, минимальным. Но это значит и минимальные вырабатываемые токи.
Скорее как забавная и дорогостоящая игрушка получается. А точнее некий обман людей, показывая доступность энергии, но не показывая бесполезность такой затеи.
How does the fan blades go the same way with either direction of the air??
This is a special turbine named Wells turbine.
its changes the wings angle
thepoppunx how bro?
@thepoppunx no, a wells trubine is a fixed wing turbine. That is the genius part of the turbine, it uses a symmetric wing design to rotate the same way regardless of the wind direction.
Daniel Rose even i got to know when I did a small project on it btw thx for reply
This is amazing
wow this is a pretty damn cool idea! And very low tech. very affordable and not many parts that can fail.
Besides all the other comments about the reasons why this isnt widely used such as the energy vs cost ratio. One of the biggest cons has to do with the fact that ocean/water real estate tends to be the most important and valuble land...especially if in area that allows water access such as a beach. For economic (shipping and water access is limited for most counties), aesthetic (no one is going to want their million dollar view blocked by a concrete bunker), and environmental (beach areas are critical parts of ecosystems) reasons placing large amounts of these structures along most countries shorelines will be seen as a non starter. Perhaps if they could be built on cliff faces or more under ground/water it could be viable but those all will just increase the costs of building it so makes it less attractive.
Beaches in new england would be perfect for this. Rocky and cold.
Hm, make concrete look like the beach itself and build a free real estate on top of it with lots of noice isolation. Done.
Jonathan Pascus basically about money, it's always about money.
mankind's biggest downfall, GREED.!!!
Tim Schutte Actually it's about politics. It's always about politics. There are millions of miles of coast line that are uninhibited and the land is cheap, but the politics still won't allow this.
Coastal habitat, like any non human habitat, has an elevated importance in politics, and is worship by many environmentalists. Here in the states we have dozens of overlapping burocrocies to protect, reclaim, regulat, design, study, and install "natural coastal habitat". And to be fair, some form of regulation is needed.
Yes. I know. How can installed habitat be natural? It's the government. It doesn't have to make sense.
My basic piont is that there is an army of greenies fully committed to stop this or any other type of green energy that could have any negative impact in the immediate area of the energy source or transmission of that energy product.
Jonathan Pascus , or design tubes that lead up to a plant instead of the plant being directly on the ocean. your correct, it's all about money
Brilliant idea about marine hydropower.

Pretty amazing
Could be used also for coast line erosion prevention, great idea
at the same time, it can also damage the community nearby :/
Dont coastlines naturally erode
If so why does coastline erosion matter...

No way! that's natural.
