Danish wave energy technology company Exowave has completed the factory acceptance test (FAT) of its wave energy converter (WEC) power take-off (PTO) system, marking a step forward in its roadmap to deliver megawatt-scale wave energy plants in the Danish North Sea by 2030.

The test was independently witnessed by DNV at Semco Maritime’s facilities in Esbjerg. According to Exowave, the PTO system reached up to 78% efficiency across various system pressure settings, confirming its ability to convert wave-induced mechanical energy into hydraulic power.
