Wave Energy seems the perfect choice for distributed generation of energy – that’s using wave energy to create renewable energy on a community scale. After all, a large majority of the world’s population lives near reasonably energetic seas.

The distributed generation of renewable wave energy has many advantages over centralized generation. Not only do you save on the cost of grid infrastructure but also each community becomes responsible for the operations and maintenance of their wave energy sources and its conversion.

In many cases, the production of water via desalination powered by wave energy allows for the storage of excess energy in the form of purified water. This saves a huge amount of money when compared to the costs of upgrading the grid to be capable of handling the fluctuations of renewable energy sources.

Moreover, distributed wave energy distribution makes cheap and renewable energy immediately available to more isolated communities which are traditionally beyond the reach of the grid.

Whether you need wave energy for centralized (utility scale) generation or distributed generation, the 40South Energy range of wave energy machines are ideal.
