  • Aegir Wave Power - South West Shetland
    Last Updated 08/10/2013 Aegir Wave Power - South West Shetland Developer: Pelamis Wave Power Site size: The farm will occupy roughly 2km²° Site location: The Aegir wave farm project site is located off the west coast of Shetland in an “Area of Search” between Kettla Ness and Muckle Sound, roughly 5km from the coast at its closet point Swell is predominantly from the west. Surf beaches in the south of Shetland could be affected. Image courtesy of Pelamis Wave Power Ltd Technology: Aegir is developing a 10MW wave farm off the southwest coast of Shetland. The farm, which was awarded an agreement for lease from The Crown Estate in May 2011, will consist of between 10 to 14 Pelamis wave machines. Each machine consists of 5 tube sections joined axially with 4 universal joints. The bending movements (induced by the peaks and troughs of the waves) around the universal joints are harnessed by hydraulic rams to generate electricity; with each single machine having a total rated Last Updated 08/10/2013 export capacity of 750 kW (0.75 MW). The machine is ballasted so that it is approximately 60% submerged i.e. less than 2 m protrusion above the surface of the sea. The overall machine length is approximately 180 m Pelamis is held on station by a compliant mooring spread consisting mainly of steel chain and synthetic tethers. The primary choice for anchors is embedment anchors (the same as used for floating oil rigs), which require sites with sedimentary cover. Embedment anchors are the preferred choice for a number of reasons including that they are a more cost effective method than pilling or drilling which Aegir do not intend to do.
