Trident Energy is an independent developer of enabling technology for the offshore renewable energy industry. The company has developed and patented a low cost, high reliability generator that converts linear motion directly into electricity. This generator is the 'Intel Inside' of the offshore renewable energy market, offering a generic solution to reduce the costs of a wide range of host infrastructure. The Trident Energy generator can be used to co-locate wave and offshore wind energy generation. Co-location increases the amount of electricity generated using the same infrastructure and reduces the overall cost of offshore renewable energy generation. Alternatively, the generator can be integrated into wave and tidal energy converters to provide low cost and highly reliable power take-off. It can also be used to provide autonomous off-grid power to offshore structures and breakwaters.
