Eco Wave Power Uses NVIDIA AI To Harness Wave Energy

Eco Wave Power, a member of NVIDIA Inception, is developing wave-energy systems powered by NVIDIA AI and digital twins to generate clean electricity for coastal industrial zones and pilot data centers.

• Main announcement: Eco Wave Power is deploying floaters and shore-mounted conversion systems using NVIDIA accelerated computing and NVIDIA Omniverse digital twins to plan, simulate and operate wave-energy projects; pilots are underway in the Port of Los Angeles (in collaboration with AltaSea and Shell) and an operational project exists in Jaffa Port (collaboration with EDF Power Solutions and the Israeli Energy Ministry).
• Background and project details: The company is also developing projects at the Port of Leixões (Portugal), Suao Port (Taiwan) and Mumbai, India (with Bharat Petroleum); the article cites EIA analysis that wave energy could produce over 60% of U.S. annual energy consumption, and highlights technical choices such as placing control hardware on land to protect equipment and using floaters attached to breakwaters for deployment.
