The WaveStar, the brainchild of a Brøndby-based company of the same name set up by brothers Niels and Keld Hansen, is built around a self-erecting jack-up platform with banks of hemispherical floats that drive a hydraulic generation system. A scale-model “test section” of the device has been running off Hanstholm in the Danish North Sea for the past two years.
