en.Wedoany.com Reported - Eco Wave Power is leveraging NVIDIA's digital twin technology to develop a wave energy system that converts ocean motion into electricity, aiming to provide renewable energy for coastal digital infrastructure. The core of this technology combines data centers located near coastlines with electricity generated from ocean motion.
As part of NVIDIA Inception's "Sustainable Future" initiative, Eco Wave Power's technology integrates physical wave capture systems with AI-driven modeling. The company's approach involves attaching floating devices to existing coastal structures such as breakwaters and seawalls, capturing wave motion through buoys, while control systems, hydraulic equipment, and electrical components remain onshore to reduce exposure of critical equipment to harsh marine environments.
Wave energy is considered one of the least utilized clean energy sources, with power generation characteristics that outperform solar and wind in terms of intermittency. Inna Braverman stated that wave energy can generate electricity around the clock, and this consistency can reduce gaps in renewable energy supply. For high-energy-consumption operations like data centers, this means continuous power generation without the need for energy storage systems, thereby reducing infrastructure complexity.
Eco Wave Power applies AI technology to optimize system design and operation. By using digital twins built with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, engineers can model wave conditions, infrastructure performance, and deployment scenarios before construction, testing different configurations and identifying potential operational challenges. After system deployment, AI and accelerated computing analyze equipment performance, wave patterns, and environmental conditions in real time, supporting predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and extend device lifespan.
Currently, Eco Wave Power operates projects at the Port of Jaffa in Israel and the Port of Los Angeles, with further development underway in Portugal, Taiwan, and India. The Los Angeles site is testing whether wave energy can serve as the sole power source for data centers, using AI software to predict wave conditions and allocate computing tasks based on power availability. If stronger wave activity is forecast, more energy-intensive workloads can be scheduled during that period, with this dynamic load management aimed at maximizing renewable energy utilization. Early results indicate that these systems can generate grid-connected electricity from coastal installations.
