2010-05-11
Aker Solutions has been chosen as our strategic partner to complete the design of the Langlee E2. With core competence within offshore engineering and construction, Aker Solutions will complete engineering and prepare for construction based on DNV standards. The Langlee full-scale demonstration unit will be installed at Runde Island, Norway, in the fall of 2011.

“The Langlee system works. This wave power concept is both innovative and interesting. The system is characterized by its simplicity, few moving parts, and the floating installation is well designed to handle extreme loads e.g. it has no end stops. The tests we have conducted at Aalborg University showed reasonable efficiencies for given wave climate, and the system excels also in that it utilizes small and medium sized waves well.”

PRESS RELEASE 19th of August 2009
(Asker, Norway) The Norwegian wave power innovator Langlee Wave Power has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Turkish energy company Ünmaksan to build a 24 MW wave power facility worth approximately NOK 1 billion following pilot facility testing.
“Ünmaksan has analyzed more than 70 different wave power concepts, and we believe Langlee has the most robust technology and cost-effective solution,” says Ünmaksan’s Managing Director Mr. Serhat Kan. “The agreement with Langlee is a promising starting point in the development of Turkey’s wave power resources” he continues.
Phase 1 of the agreed project is a prototype designed for typical wave conditions near Turkey’s coastline; the pilot facility will be developed during 2010. Following testing of this pilot installation, Ünmaksan and Langlee are to develop a full-scale wave energy farm with an electric power generation capacity of 24 MW, at a total investment cost of approximately NOK 1 billion.
Langlee’s license fee revenues for the Ünmaksan project are estimated at approximately NOK 90 million.
“Our collaboration makes Langlee and Ünmaksan pioneers in the capture of wave energy for powering homes and businesses in this commercially important region. The partnership also ensures local access to academic, technical, and commercial expertise; yard construction capacity; and other resources necessary to achieve our ambitious goals,” says Langlee’s CEO Julius Espedal.

Ünmaksan recently was licensed by the government of Turkey to develop and install coastal wave power sites, the only such award in the country.
About Langlee Wave Power AS
Langlee Wave Power has developed unique technology for converting the power of sea waves into electric power. Headquartered near Oslo, Norway, Langlee systems use proven offshore technologies; processes and systems are being certified by Det Norske Veritas, DNV. Langlee is planning to install its first pilot facility, on a scale of 1:2, early in 2010 at a coastal Norway site.
EDITORS:
Wave power is an important emerging renewable energy source. The Langlee wave power converter captures a greater proportion of wave energy than alternative systems — and is designed for the moderate wave conditions found near major coastal population centers.
