Abstract

The 2nd full-scale shoreline Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy device to be constructed in the UK, LIMPET, has been completed on the island of Islay, Scotland. The LIMPET device comprises a rectangular inclined OWC that ducts the generated airflow through two contra-rotating Well’s turbines, each coupled to a 250kW induction generator giving the device a 500kW maximum power output. This paper serves to provide an overview of the LIMPET device from conception to the current status and the initial operational experiences of running the plant.

Overview And Initial Operational Experience of the LIMPET Wave Energy Plant is located in United Kingdom.
