High hopes for wave power project

The world's first power station in the open sea is to be stationed off

Dounreay in Scotland. The machine, called Osprey (Ocean Swell-Powered

Renewable Energy), will stand in 18 metres of water a kilometre out and not

only harvest the larger waves, which produce higher outputs, but also gain

power with waves from any direction.

The device is known as an oscillating water column. As a wave rises, air

is pushed through an airturbine and sucked back again as the wave falls. The

turbine has been designed by Professor Alan Wells, of Queen's University,

Belfast. It will generate 2 megawatts.

There is potential for 300 Ospreys in Scottish waters which could provide

10 per cent of the country's peak electricity demand.
