Eco Wave Power Advances AI Digital Twin for Wave Energy Systems

Eco Wave Power has completed the first phase of an AI-powered digital twin development program with Germany-based AI engineering, aimed at improving the prediction and optimization of wave energy system performance.

The initial phase involved creating a physics-based digital model of interactions between ocean waves and Eco Wave Power's proprietary floaters.

The work included simulations of wave loading, floater movements, structural forces and potential electricity generation under varying sea conditions, alongside initial machine-learning capabilities for forecasting energy output and structural loads.

The companies also evaluated how the model could be adapted to future installation sites with different wave conditions, potentially allowing engineering insights to be transferred between projects.
