Guangzhou Institute of Energy has recently rolled out a stable tidal wave power generating system. The new system is made up of three major components, including a standalone tidal wave power generating system, a fresh water making system using wave energy, and a floating recharging system. The tidal wave power generating system is able to turn wave energy into steady electric power supply for illumination, computation, air-conditioning, and boat applications. The wave energy based fresh water making system can directly turn sea water into fresh water, while the recharging system is designed to store the surplus wave energy in batteries for backup or beacon applications.

According to an estimation, a standalone tidal wave power generating system, with an installed capacity of 50kw and maximum wave peak power of 400kw, may generate 26,300 kwh of electricity a year. Chinese engineers are currently working on a standalone tidal wave power generating system, with an installed capacity of 50kw and allowable maximum wave peak power of 400kw, which expects to be put into operation at the end of the year.
