Ocean Power Delivery Limited (OPD), founded in 1998 and based in Edinburgh, Scotland, is known for its Pelamis wave energy converter (WEC) technology. The Pelamis system consists of cylindrical sections that are linked by hinged joints. The motion of the joints, driven by waves, is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump oil through hydraulic motors. The motors then drive generators, which produce electricity. Several Pelamis devices can be linked. Joint configurations can be adjusted in response to wave motion loads. Devices can be deployed at various water depths. Company investors include Norsk Hydro Technology Ventures, 3i, Sustainable Asset Management (SAM), and the Carbon Trust. The firm maintains test facilities in Leith Docks, Scotland. Full-scale production of the Pelamis system began in 2005.
