28 October 2010 (Sea For Life)

"…Sea For Life, an ocean oriented R&D company, wants to deploy its wave energy conversion system – WEGA (Wave Energy Gravitational Absorber) – at sea and, therefore, INEGI (Instituto de Engenharia Mecânica e Gestão Industrial), will cooperate with Sea For Life.

"INEGI is a Private Nonprofit Association that works as an interface Institution between University and Industry, oriented to the activities of Research and Development, Innovation and Technology Transfer.

"The installation and monitorization of the system in near-shore is part of the second phase of the WEGA Project which aims to demonstrate its technical feasibility. Exposing the device to different sea states, during an extended time window, will assure that fundamental features such as the device survivability or its power generation capacity are dominated."

"This collaboration was born following the contacts which have been undertaken by Sea For Life in order to establish relationships that foster the development of the exploitation of this source of marine renewable energy."
