New wave generation system based entirely on electric technology
Hannover University is known for being able to offer the very best in coastal research, and one part of its facility is the large wave flume which contains a hydraulic wave generation system. The university wanted to be able to improve the quality of its waves and the efficiency of its facility, and asked Van Halteren Technology to engineer a new wave generation system based entirely on electric technology.
Electrical expertise
The new system is driven only by electricity, and is smaller, easier to maintain and more energy efficient. VHT has extensive expertise in electrical drive and control systems and used that to design a state-of-the-art wave generation system. With this new system, the customer has a flume and research institute that is producing better quality waves and tidal simulations and has a system that’s ready for the next 30-40 years.
Driving connectivity
Moving from a hydraulic system to an electric solution will have a number of benefits. Most importantly, the wave quality will be higher than ever before, allowing for better, more reliable research. This, in turn, will lead to the research center being even more in-demand than before. It’s also a more efficient, environmentally friendly solution, and takes up less physical space.
