Lewis Wave Power Limited
Lewis Wave Power Limited 40MW Oyster Wave Array North West Coast, Isle of Lewis Environmental Statement Volume 1: Non-Technical Summary March 2012 40MW Lewis Wave Array Environmental Statement 1. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY 1.1 Introduction This document provides a Non-Technical Summary (NTS) of the Environmental Statement (ES) produced in support of the consent application process for the North West Lewis Wave Array, hereafter known as the development. The ES is the formal report of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) undertaken by Lewis Wave Power Limited (hereafter known as Lewis Wave Power) into the potential impacts of the construction, operation and eventual decommissioning of the development. 1.2 Lewis Wave Power Limited Lewis Wave Power is a wholly owned subsidiary of Edinburgh based Aquamarine Power Limited, the technology developer of the Oyster wave power technology, which captures energy from near shore waves and converts it into clean sustainable electricity. Aquamarine Power installed the first full scale Oyster wave energy convertor (WEC) at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, which began producing power to the National Grid for the first time in November 2009. That device has withstood two winters in the harsh Atlantic waters off the coast of Orkney in northern Scotland. Aquamarine Power recently installed the first of three next-generation devices also at EMEC which will form the first wave array of its type anywhere in the world. 1.3 Project details The wave array development will have the capacity to provide 40 Megawatts (MW), enough energy to power up to 38,000 homes and will contribute to meeting the Scottish Government’s targets of providing the equivalent of 100% of Scotland’s electricity generation from renewable sources by 2020. -
Aquamarine Power – Oyster* Biopower Systems – Biowave
Wave Energy Converters (WECs) Aquamarine Power – Oyster* The Oyster is uniquely designed to harness wave energy in a near-shore environment. It is composed primarily of a simple mechanical hinged flap connected to the seabed at a depth of about 10 meters and is gravity moored. Each passing wave moves the flap, driving hydraulic pistons to deliver high pressure water via a pipeline to an onshore electrical turbine. AWS Ocean Energy – Archimedes Wave Swing™* The Archimedes Wave Swing is a seabed point-absorbing wave energy converter with a large air-filled cylinder that is submerged beneath the waves. As a wave crest approaches, the water pressure on the top of the cylinder increases and the upper part or 'floater' compresses the air within the cylinder to balance the pressures. The reverse happens as the wave trough passes and the cylinder expands. The relative movement between the floater and the fixed lower part is converted directly to electricity by means of a linear power take-off. BioPower Systems – bioWAVE™ The bioWAVE oscillating wave surge converter system is based on the swaying motion of sea plants in the presence of ocean waves. In extreme wave conditions, the device automatically ceases operation and assumes a safe position lying flat against the seabed. This eliminates exposure to extreme forces, allowing for light-weight designs. Centipod* The Centipod is a Wave Energy Conversion device currently under construction by Dehlsen Associates, LLC. It operates in water depths of 40-44m and uses a two point mooring system with four lines. Its methodology for wave energy conversion is similar to other devices. -

Aquamarine Power Response
Strengthening strategic and sustainability considerations in Ofgem’s decision making Aquamarine Power’s response 1. Introduction “With a quarter of the UK’s generating capacity shutting down over the next ten years as old coal and nuclear power stations close, more than £110bn in investment is needed to build the equivalent of 20 large power stations and upgrade the grid. In the longer term, by 2050, electricity demand is set to double, as we shift more transport and heating onto the electricity grid. Business as usual is therefore not an option.i” Department of Energy and Climate Change, 2010 The coming decades will see a radical shift in the way in which electricity is generated and how it is paid for, and we welcome this discussion paper. We believe marine energy – wave and tidal power – offers a potential new energy source which can make a significant contribution to the UK and global energy mix in the decades ahead. But we are concerned the current charging regime fails to take account of the particular economic challenges faced by these early stage technologies, and as a consequence there is a danger that wave and tidal energy will be ‘locked out’ of any future energy scenario. This would mean UK consumers would miss out on a new form of energy which has the potential to drive down consumer bills in the long term, and also that UK would miss out on a major economic opportunity to become a global leader in new technologies. As project Discovery stated, the lowest domestic fuel bills would be likely to be realised under the ‘Green Stimulus’ scenario in which the UK reaches its 2020 renewable energy targetii. -
