The Power Systems Unit was contracted by Enervia - a company
of the Enersis group - to conduct a study aiming at the
identification of alternatives of connection to the national
electrical network of a generation plant using wave energy,
adopting Pelamis technology, with an installed capacity of
20 MW and with a sea/land connection in the area of
Aguçadoura (Póvoa de Varzim).
Portugal has been viewed in recent years as one of the
countries leading the exploration of wave energy resources
and INESC Porto is one of the institutions with real
capacity to contribute to this effort..
The project will be led by João Peças and it will involve
the cooperation of Pereira da Silva, Luis Seca and Ângelo
Mendonça.
