AW-Energy

AW-Energy Oy is a Finnish company that specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of wave energy generation equipment. Founded in 2002 and based in Vantaa, the company has created the WaveRoller, a submerged wave energy converter that transforms ocean wave energy into electricity.

This movement drives piston pumps that generate hydraulic pressure, which is converted into electricity through a motor/generator system. Each WaveRoller unit can produce between 500 and 1,000 kW, depending on local wave conditions, and multiple units can be combined to form a scalable wave farm. The modular design allows for flexibility in construction and operation, ensuring consistent energy output even if individual units require maintenance. Since its initial prototype development in 1999, AW-Energy has conducted extensive testing in various marine environments, including the Gulf of Finland and Portugal, leading to successful deployment of demonstration plants connected to national grids.
