mWave™’s modular design enables the technology to be configured into a fixed structure or floating platform structure subject to deployment environment requirements
mWave™ platforms
Integrated mWave™
mWave™ can be integrated into a single wind and wave platform.
An integrated wave and wind floating platform opens up development of the wave energy market on a utility scale. Early adopters of mWave™’s multi-MW integrated platform approach will achieve the required capacity, performance and output needed to deliver reliable, cost competitive clean energy.

In deep waters, mWave™ integrated with a wind turbine on a floating platform greatly increases seabed lease area capacity and output. Opportunity to share usage of offshore substation, grid connection and floating structure drives down OPEX and LCOE.

Bombora’s collaborative project with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult’s Marine Energy Centre of Excellence (MEECE) is carrying out a techno-economic appraisal of extending mWave™ technology, co-located and integrated, into an offshore environment.
Floating mWave™
mWave™ can be integrated into a floating platform structure.
A floating platform is the next-step in mWave™’s product development cycle to expand our global renewable megawatt power generation capacity and improve operational efficiency.

Water Depths
In deep waters, mWave™ can be deployed, to exploit a much bigger floating platform opportunity, to deliver utility scale offshore wave projects and optimise wind farm output when co-located. The application of mWave™ to a floating platform provides a potential solution to existing offshore Oil and Gas operations looking to electrify platforms.
