Dyeman, Understandably they try to promote their long history of successes but in one section under annual achievements (Latest news 2014) they briefly describe the loss in transit of the completed 1MW unit. To show integrity they had to give some acknowledgement. They also say that they acquired all the previous IP along with key scientists and engineers.
I’m glad that all that hard design work is not lost.
“ Over the next 12 to 18 months, the new Oceanlinx R&D team will develop an enhanced version of the 1MW greenWAVE device for commercial demonstration of its commercial viability and performance capabilities in partnership with local renewable power developer and academia in the northeast coast of Taiwan.”

Despite a couple of notable failures, the technology is good, is that not right, Juke?
The Port Kembla failure could be blamed on the anchoring system and the Port McDonnell one for under resourcing during delivery.
Taiwan is not a place I would have thought of as having a great wave resource. Does the the Oceanlinx device prefer moderate conditions?
