JAKARTA. Indonesia, which is surrounded by seas, could try to develop a technology similar to BioWave, a sea wave power plant developed by a company in Australia, to fulfill the electricity energy need all over the islands.
BioWave only utilizes sea wave energy by absorbing it using float and distribute it heading to the generator to produce electricity by the assistance of hydraulic pump known as O-Drive.
A triangle foundation is planted in the sea bed to bind the electricity power system to be strong still in the position. If storm and big wave happen, the power plant will immediately bend averagely in the sea bed to avoid damage.
Currently the prototype in capacity of 250 kilowatt is ready to operate in 30 meter depth, while the commercial scale in capacity of 1 MW operating in the deeper sea, range between 40-45 meter. To generate such this big power, each power plant will move 4 O-Drives.
To get bigger electricity energy, some BioWave could be placed in a certain sea areas as a field of sea wave power plant with ideal depth and wave. (AK)
