WAVE ENERGY
In 2017, supported by the SFPMRE, the Youlian shipyard (Shekou) Co. Ltd. and the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion (GIEC) have been developing a power supply system provided by wave energy for offshore cage.

The floating cage will be powered by wave energy (60 kW) and solar energy (30 kW), and the cabins could also be used for workers accommodation or storage rooms. The system is suitable for different depth from 15 m to 100 m, and the system will be deployed for sea trial in 2019.
