SeWave
SeWave was a wave farm project in Nípanin, Faroe Islands. The project was developed by the joint venture of the Scottish wave energy developer Wavegen and the Faroe's power company SEV.[1][2]
The feasibility study of the wave farm was conducted in 2002 by Eni, SEV and Wavegen. Based on the project findings, in 2003 Wavegen and SEV established a joint venture SeWave for the design and building of the wave farm project.[1] The project bases on the design of Islay LIMPET, which uses a tunnelled wave plant concept with an oscillating water column device built into the face of a cliff, utilizing an air chamber in order to capture wave energy.[3]
The model tests, site investigations and design issues were completed by start of 2005. The wave power plant was expected to be in use by 2010.[4] The overall project costs are expected to be up to £7 million.[2]
However, the project was deadpooled[5] and United States Department of Energy listed this project to be inactive.[6]
