AB - A breakwater is currently under construction in the town of Mutriku in the Basque country of northern Spain. Following a contract award for the Nereidas project under the EU Framework 6 programme an OWC system using Wells Turbine - Induction generator power take off units will be incorporated into the breakwater scheme. The plant, with a nominal 300kW rating, is scheduled for commissioning in the spring of 2009.The paper describes the development of the turbo- generation system through:Characterisation of the Collector in tank model tests.Specification of the turbine in terms of operational envelope and damping.Mechanical arrangement of turbine and generator.Test programme on LIMPETEnvironmental considerations.Control equipment and architecture.
