Eco Wave Power uses NVIDIA tools to harness wave energy

Eco Wave Power is developing wave energy systems powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure and digital twins, targeting coastal sites where clean electricity can be generated close to ports, industrial zones and future AI infrastructure hubs. The company, part of the NVIDIA Inception startup program’s Sustainable Futures initiative, uses existing marine structures such as breakwaters and sea walls to support noninvasive floaters that capture energy from shoreline waves.

In the U.S. alone, wave energy could produce over 60% of annual energy consumption, according to the Energy Information Administration, and seawater’s density is roughly 800x the density of air, enabling smaller devices than wind turbines. Eco Wave Power keeps computers, sensors, hydraulic conversion and electrical systems on land, reducing the risk of storm damage that has challenged earlier approaches.

NVIDIA Omniverse libraries are used to build digital twins that simulate wave behavior, structural performance, deployment layouts and operating scenarios before installation. NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI support predictive analytics, anomaly detection, environmental forecasting and maintenance, while AI software can schedule compute workloads around periods of stronger renewable generation. Projects are operating or in development in Jaffa Port, the Port of Los Angeles, Portugal, Taiwan and Mumbai.
