In September we reported that Carnegie Wave Energy had designed and built the world's first operating wave farm located in Western Australia. Today the firm revealed that it is working with network operator Western Power to develop the world's first wave-integrated renewable energy microgrid, which will connect with the electricity grid. A network of subsea pipelines will connect the offshore wave energy system to an onshore facility and the microgrid will be given an additional 2MW of solar PV power generation, as well as an energy storage system to ensure a stable and reliable connection with the electricity grid. Carnegie also said it had entered into negotiations with Chile and Peru for similar developments.
