NoviOcean AB · Sweden
Medi Wave 850H. Stable energy from the ocean.
One floating platform combining wave, wind and solar power — steadier output, shared offshore infrastructure and more energy from the same sea area.
WaveWindSolar
For illustration only — the actual design is shared in closer dialogues.
Why NoviOcean
More balanced power,
from one shared structure.
The sun sets and the wind drops, but the grid still has to be supplied. Covering those gaps with extra capacity and storage is what makes reliable clean power expensive — so NoviOcean narrows the gaps before storage has to.
01
More balanced production
Waves keep rolling after the wind fades and the sun sets, so output steadies and the shortfall periods shrink.
02
Shared offshore infrastructure
One platform, one mooring, one export cable, one permit, one installation instead of three separate projects.
03
Higher energy per sea area
More delivered energy from the same square kilometre of increasingly contested sea.

Six Global Innovation Competitions Wins
Integrated ecosystem
A new integration of established technologies
and NoviOcean’s proprietary wave system.
NoviOcean is a systems integrator. The solar and wind hardware comes from specialist partners whose technology is already established; the wave system, and the integration of all three at sea, is ours.

Priority applications
Where local ocean energy
changes the maths first.
Four markets where power is expensive, land is scarce and supply has to be dependable. Each one starts from the customer’s problem, not from the technology.

Interactive simulator
See what an array
could do for your site.
Choose a market, set how many Medi Wave 850H units you would put in the water, and the simulator builds an illustrative array scenario — indicative annual production, how much of a typical demand profile it could cover, emissions reduction, diesel displacement and the potential saving against local energy costs.
What the simulator gives back
Annual production
Representative modeled output for the array, in MWh per year.
Demand coverage
The share of an illustrative default demand profile the array could meet.
Emissions reduction
Tonnes of CO₂e avoided each year against the displaced supply.
Diesel displacement
Litres of diesel the scenario removes, and the saving that follows.

Proof and progress
Ten years of development, testing and offshore validation.
Concept, tank testing, power take-off validation and fourteen months of offshore operation — each stage completed before the next one started. This is the short version; the complete evidence journey lives on the Validation page.

Insight
Why the next energy challenge is stability, not generation
Cheap generation alone is no longer the bottleneck. What a grid actually buys is dependable supply — and that is a system problem, not a panel problem.
