Tidal Barrage The system, titled Tidal Delay, patented by
Woodshed Technologies Pty Ltd (Australia), relies on the seawater
restraining or delaying feature of natural coastal landforms, such
as peninsulas or isthmuses. Such features create a time delay or
tidal phase difference between the tidal driven water movement on
both sides of such coastal landforms. The high mass of sea-water
means that under normal tidal influence it often takes several
hours for the sea-water to move to a point of equivalent water
level on both sides of an interfering natural barrier. This delay
in equilibration of water levels leads to a height difference in
the water level either side of many a peninsula or isthmus creating
a difference in potential energy across the landform. Connecting
points across such influenced landforms with sea-water carrying
pipes, each incorporating a standard turbine and generator, enables
the stored potential energy in the system to be harnessed. Assuming
two tidal cycles per day, that is two high and two low tides per
day, the system may suffer from severe interruption of electricity
generation. Therefore, reversal of water flow through the pipe(s)
with the change of tide, and therefore continuing energy capture
and electricity generation is critical and is a feature of the
process.

Hydrofoil Power take-off system Unspecified BioPower Systems is a
renewable energy technology company based in Sydney Australia. We
are developing systems for both wave and tidal power conversion.
The company is currently working on ocean-based demonstration
projects and follow-on market opportunities for its products and
services.. Established in 2006, the company has successfully
completed the following activities as part of its commercialization
plan: Proof of concept and prototype tank testing; Engineering
design and technology development; Planning and development of
pilot projects; Construction and testing of power conversion
equipment; Patent protection; Development of strategic technical
and commercial alliances; and Exploration of international and
local site development opportunities.
Slide 6
Tidal Current Technologies The unique bioWAVE and bioSTREAM
ocean energy devices are based on biomimicry, or nature-inspired
design, and are designed to generate commercial quantities of clean
renewable electricity with no green house gas emission and minimal
impact on the environment. BioPower Systems is currently working
towards demonstration of 250kW and 1MW bioWAVE projects.
Ultimately, the aim of the company is to deliver utility-scale wave
and tidal farms in the 50-100MW range.

Ocean Wave Technologies Company/Organization Oceanlinx
(Energetech) Technology/Plant Name - Port Kembla OWC Technology
Genre - OWC Near-shore Power take-off system Air Turbine Oceanlinx
is a leading international company which has created Wave Energy
Converter technology. The company has developed proprietary
technology for extracting energy from ocean waves and converting it
into either electricity or desalinated sea water. Known as
Energetech until 2007, Oceanlinx has been designing and deploying
wave energy systems since 1997. The company has developed both a
shallow water version of its technology, named greenWAVE, and a
corresponding deep water version named blueWAVE. These commercial
products are the culmination of this detailed decade-long
development phase. Oceanlinx remains at the leading edge of marine
renewable technology development.

Renewable Energy Holdings' Perth-based subsidiary Seapower Pacific
Ltd has taken a step towards full commercialisation of its CETO
wave-power machine, announcing plans to install
pre-commercialisation units today. A wave farm of 125 CETO units
would be able to produce 18MW of electricity with no greenhouse gas
emissions, enough for 10,000 households, or a desalination plant
producing 45 billion litres of fresh drinking water each year.
