Blue Motion Energy

For centuries the Dutch have been plagued by flooding. Throughout history the Dutch have been in a constant battle against the sea. In the 9th century the history of Dutch water management started. Throughout al these centuries the Dutch have gained a reputation as a country that won the war against water, rescuing large parts of land from the grasp of the sea. The current Dutch thought however, is to convert their battle against the sea into working and living together with the sea. This changed vision demands the further development of a different kind of knowledge. Blue Motion Energy is a new Dutch based company that has taken on the challenge to come up with an innovative system to generate energy from waves, currents and wind with only one turbine. Blue Motion Energy developed a technology witch can increase the efficiency of the marine turbine system to 80 percent or more for wave energy by making use of wave diffraction. For the Netherlands the turbines can generate up to 15 MW nominal. The marine turbines built further from the coast has more power output and an increased capacity factor. At places with large waves and tidal current a.o. Ireland, Scotland, France, New Zealand and Australia much larger plants with high capacity factors can be build. For larger plants 7 MW and higher and depending of the location no subsidized feed in tariff is necessary.
