THE HALLMARK OF SEABASED Wave Power TECHNOLOGY IS ITS ROBUST SIMPLICITY

Seabased’s patented technology is central to our mission as a Blue Energy Company: delivering clean, stable electricity from the ocean at utility scale. Our wave-to-grid system uses buoys on the surface, connected to linear generators on the seabed, to capture the steady power of ocean waves.

Wave motion lifts and lowers the buoy, driving a translator inside the generator to produce electrical power—reliably and without exposed moving parts. Our underwater switchgear, or Marine Substation, converts the power produced by multiple WECs into electricity suitable for grid use. 

The result is a renewable power solution that is modular, grid-ready, and gentle on the marine environment—ideal for island and coastal markets seeking dependable, CO₂-free electricity.

The Seabased system is fully modular. Using standard 2 and 10MW building blocks, we can deliver small or large wave parks adapted to the needs of each site. This design philosophy also facilitates a stepwise build-up or expansion, increasing flexibility and reducing risk. 

After full-scale multi-generator demonstrations in Sweden and Ghana, Seabased is advancing toward full commercial rollout, with utility-scale wave parks in development for coastal and island markets.
