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

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.

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.

River Power & Dam Replacement

In the past, societies were willing to exchange disrupting river environments with dams for electrical generation and the impoundment of water. But today, this notion is less welcome. This trend is evidenced by the fierce resistance to the construction of new dams and the calls to remove dams that have outlived their usefulness. 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.

According to World Energy Council, the remaining exploitable falling water potential globally is about 5,400 TWh/yr. The potential is even greater when the dam replacement opportunities are included.
