PowerPod can be used as the power take-off system in many different Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and oscillating hydrofoil tidal stream devices. Trident is currently developing a small wave energy generator that can be attached to other offshore infrastructure to provide autonomous off-grid power.

Generating electricity from sea waves reduces the use of offshore diesel generators – reducing re-fuelling costs and minimising environmental risk from fuel spills. Powerpod offers a viable alternative to burning diesel offshore and they are keen to work with partners to integrate their clean and sustainable autonomous power solution with next-generation offshore wind foundations.

Trident’s PowerPod generator is positioned as the “Intel Inside” of the offshore renewable energy market, offering a generic, modular solution to reduce the costs of a wide range of host infrastructure.. .
