“…The island already utilises solar and tidal power. 28,29 The Island's location off the North West tip of France, in the Atlantic Ocean, means it has a reasonable wave climate that could be utilised. The island has an average total power demand over the course of 1 year of 9312 kW, 29 with increased demand in winter (when waves are larger).…”

This work aimed to test the feasibility, both experimentally and numerically, of a novel concept for a robust Wave Energy Converter (WEC) operating in the near-shore region. The converter uses a series of non-return valves, constrained by a tapered pipe, where the incoming wave builds up pressure in each compartment and finally drives a turbine onshore with the pressurised water. The device is aimed at remote communities, to gain energy security and reduce dependence on imports. The device facilitates local engagement, and it is intended that local people are trained to perform most maintenance tasks using low cost, readily available, parts. This work assessed the feasibility of the WEC through physical testing, the results of which were compared to initial numerical models. The device was shown to capture energy and, through a case study of Ushant Island off the coast of France, was shown to have the potential to become part of the future energy mix for remote communities.
