CalWave xNode
The xNode is a versatile platform for converting and storing the power of ocean waves, serving as a facilitator in the Ocean Internet of Things. An adaptable payload compartment means a standard xNode can provide reliable power at sea for a range of remote offshore consumers. For example, xNode can easily maintain an AUV docking station to increase remote inspection frequency while reducing vessel costs. In the open ocean, the xNode can accommodate any third-party scientific payload, for instance to complement the ARGO fleet of oceanographic profilers, acoustically monitor fish stocks and marine mammals, or measure CO2 above and below the sea surface.
CalWave HydroNode
CalWave HydroNode is a wave-powered energy node enabling the delivery of fresh water to remote coastal communities and providing for a rapidly deployable, easily operated and maintained system for locally generated desalinated water to support disaster relief.
Tech, Specs & Features
CalWave’s xNode utilizes CalWave’s multi-kW PTO platform and is customized towards the needs of end-users in maritime markets, specifically AUV charging with anchored or free-floating mooring options.
The xNode is specifically designed for simple transportation and deployment, being more compact, lightweight, and robust than conventional buoys and unmanned surface vehicles.
