Langlee Wave Power
Langlee Wave Power is a Norwegian based company developing converters for utilizing wave energy. The system is optimized for deployment in areas with moderate wave conditions, 2-4 meter seas. The system is ideal for offshore windfarm sites. Power transmission, infrastructure and site approval costs can be shared with new or existing offshore windfarms.
Operating just beneath the water surface, the Langlee system is sheltered from damage during heavy storms, yet remains positioned where wave-energy conversion has its greatest potential.
Only the top of each Langlee module's four steel buoyancy tubes is exposed to the splash zone.
The Langlee design is simple. The system features a minimum number of moving parts, and no complex components are exposed to seawater. The system relies on proven technology and standard components.
Combination with offshore wind
Since the Langlee system is designed to operate under the same wave conditions as today's offshore windfarms, our market focus will be on sites currently under development. This focus allows customers to add wave-energy production that utilizes already available infrastructure, such as subsea transmission cables and related facilities and maintenance personnel.
Business mission
Langlee's business mission is to be a turnkey supplier of wave power plants, including full lifecycle services ie. operation, maintenance, upgrade and warrenty services.
Market
Langlee offers the right product for an emerging, worldwide market. Our products and systems are suited to the moderate wave conditions typical of coastlines all over the world. Langlee's market strategy is to focus on energy companies engaged in offshore windpower; industry participants' licensed offshore acreage, environmental compliance costs, and power transmission infrastructure can be shared and leveraged. We consider this approach the easiest route for penetrating the emerging wave power market. A European market exceeding EUR 5 billion is projected over the next seven years; Langlee is targeting a 20% share of the European market.
