It is intended that Ocean Navitas will place an array of 5 1.4MWh Aegir Dynamo Buoys into the Wave Hub project that will be decommissioned after a period of 5 years.

Wave Hub is a groundbreaking renewable energy project in the South West of England that aims to create the UK's first offshore facility for the demonstration and proving of the operation of arrays of wave energy generation devices.

The South West of England Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) is proposing the Wave Hub
project to provide the electrical infrastructure necessary to support and encourage developers of wave
energy converter devices (WECs) to generate electricity from wave energy. It will allow developers
the opportunity to test groups (arrays) of devices over several years to prove the technologies will
operate effectively in realistic offshore marine conditions and that they will produce the expected
amounts of power.

Wave Hub’s infrastructure comprises an onshore substation connected to offshore electrical
equipment on the seabed via a 25 kilometres long sub-sea cable. The offshore electrical equipment
includes a termination and distribution unit (TDU; i.e. a 4-way cable splitter), four interconnecting
cables, and four power converter units (PCUs; i.e. transformer units) into which can be plugged the
WECs. The offshore electrical equipment and the WECs (including their mooring systems) will be situated in a deployment area approximately 10 nautical miles off St Ives, in approximately 50m of water.
