Pelamis Wave Power Limited, founded in 1998 as Ocean Power Delivery Limited, develops, deploys, and maintains ocean wave energy generation systems. The firm's Pelamis P-750 Wave Energy Converter is a commercial-grade system that transmits offshore wave energy to the power grid. The semi-submerged structure is composed of cylindrical sections that are linked by hinged joints. Wave-generated motion in the joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure oil through hydraulic motors. The motors then drive electrical generators. Power is transmitted to shore through a single seabed cable. Each system contains three power conversion modules. Each module has a capacity of 250KW. The Pelamis P-750 Wave Energy Converter units are moored five to 10km from the shore, in water approximately 50m to 70m in depth. Units can be towed to sheltered water for maintenance. Pelamis Wave Power is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It maintains additional operations in Portugal. Pelamis Wave Power was founded by Dr. Richard Yemm, Dr. Dave Pizer, and Dr. Chris Retzler.
