Our VIVACE technology uses the extensively studied phenomenon of vortex induced vibrations to extract useful energy from ocean, river, tidal and other water currents.

Did you know?

Approximately 97.5% of the Earth's water is seawater, and no more than about 2.5% is fresh water, and most fresh water is held in glaciers, icebergs, and underground reservoirs. Water that can be used easily by humans, such as that in rivers and lakes, accounts for just 0.1% of the total. Meanwhile, the global population topped 6 billion in 2000 and is expected to reach 8 billion by 2025, of which 3.5 billion are likely to face water shortages. An important component of the solution to this growing problem is desalination.

Did you know?

VIVACE is highly scalable and can produce energy over a wide range of current speeds, which opens up the opportunity for a range of diverse markets ranging from perpetually powered ocean sensors to irrigation pumping in developing countries.

Did you know?

Dozens of old dams are removed every year and the pace is accelerating. VIVACE offers an opportunity to generate electricity or pump water at these locations while returning these rivers to a more natural state.

Markets

Overview

The markets available for VIVACE include: coastal electrical generation, low-head hydropower, desalination pumping, and many others.

Coastal Generation: More than 50% of the U.S. population lives and works within 50 miles of the coastline, while coastal areas account for only 11% of the nation's land area. This trend, which is repeated around the world, indicates the need for electrical generation at or near the coast.
Low-head Hydropower: The push to decommission and demolish dams, and the lack of new traditional hydropower projects indicate an increasing unwillingness to radically alter river environments for power and/or water impoundment. VIVACE offers a way to minimize the impact to the river while extracting useful energy in the form of electricity or pumped water.
Desalination: The world’s ever growing population requires more and more fresh water for drinking, agriculture and other needs. Desalination of seawater is increasingly being employed to augment local water supplies. Every year, more than two million gallons per day of desalination capacity is installed. VIVACE can supply the pumping power for this vital installation renewably.
Others: VIVACE is highly scalable and can produce energy over a wide range of current speeds, which opens up the opportunity for a range of diverse markets ranging from perpetually powered ocean sensors to irrigation pumping in developing countries.
