Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract: |
DBE is a specialized company that focuses on research and development of “blue energy” generated from waves, tidal movements and tidal currents, via electro-osmosis or biomass harvested from seaweed and algae or in general from water.
DBE plays a pioneering part in the development of so called WEC’s (Wave Energy Converters) and TEC’s (Tidal Energy Converters). The company offers a full services package including :
- The promotion and the development of relevant projects
- Partnership in ad hoc Special Purpose Companies (SPC) that design, develop, implement, construct and operate blue energy technology
- Support in project financing for blue-energy projects
- Facilitation of the construction of projects via participation in companies that construct at sea, in rivers, canals, installations that produce or transport energy
- Exploitation of blue energy projects
- Maintenance of marine and fluvial installations
For its actions as developer and/or contractor for blue energy initiatives, DBE relies on the support and resources of the DEME-Group (Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering). DEME has developed within its own Group of companies a unique pool of multidisciplinary expertise. This string of strengths has allowed DEME to make a substantial contribution to the development of systems and structures for the generation of renewable energy at sea. |
