 Wave Energy Conversion (WEC): Renewable power generation


extracting energy from ocean waves and converting it to electricity

Neptune Wave Power, LLC Confidential 4


Market

 Average Electric consumption of Coastal Countries is 1.5 tera watts


(10^12)

 1% Market Penetration represents 15 giga watts

 1% Market Penetration represents $50 billion in buoy sales

Key Technology

 Second IP - Tunable Pendulum & Power Optimization


 The pendulum can be tuned to various conditions (sea states), and generates more power
than non-tunable systems.
 For any given sea state, there is a unique setting for the length of the pendulum and a
function for power harvesting.

Key Technology

 Third IP – Counter Weight


 The center of motion moves from the buoy to under the buoy
 Allows for the harvest of energy related the heave.
