Eco Wave Power announced that NVIDIA published a corporate blog post titled "Eco Wave Power Turns Waves Into Watts With NVIDIA AI Infrastructure and Digital Twins." The announcement was made on June 23, 2026.

The core innovation involves floating infrastructure attached to breakwaters or sea walls that capture energy from waves breaking against shorelines. Because seawater is roughly 800 times denser than air, wave energy systems can generate larger amounts of power using much smaller devices compared to wind turbines. According to the Energy Information Administration, wave energy alone could produce over 60 percent of annual energy consumption in the United States.

Unlike earlier wave energy companies that faced bottlenecks by placing computer hardware on floaters where storms could damage equipment, Eco Wave Power locates its computers, sensors, hydraulic conversion systems and electrical components on land at centers, keeping expensive hardware safe and dry. This approach allows the company to manage and distribute power more effectively.

Eco Wave Power co-founder and CEO Inna Braverman stated that wave energy is one of the largest renewable energy sources available and that it is the least intermittent source of renewable energy. She noted that unlike solar energy, which is impacted by night, winter, cloud coverage and pollution, wave energy can generate power around the clock.

The company uses NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to create digital twins of wave patterns and floating infrastructure. These virtual environments simulate wave conditions, structural behavior, deployment configurations and operational scenarios before physical installation begins, helping to optimize engineering decisions, reduce deployment risk and accelerate infrastructure planning. NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI technologies enable real-time optimization of wave energy systems through predictive analytics, anomaly detection, environmental forecasting and predictive maintenance.

Eco Wave Power currently operates projects in Jaffa Port in Israel in collaboration with EDF Power Solutions and the Israeli Energy Ministry, and in the Port of Los Angeles developed with AltaSea and Shell. The company is developing new projects in Portugal at the Port of Leixões, Suao Port in Taiwan, and Mumbai, India with Bharat Petroleum.

The company is conducting pilots at the Port of Los Angeles to demonstrate how wave energy can serve as the sole power source for a data center without drawing from the existing electrical grid. AI software controls the data center pilot by planning compute tasks based on available power supply, monitoring and predicting wave strength throughout the week based on weather patterns and allocating intensive compute tasks accordingly.

Braverman stated that the company's approach is innovative but not futuristic, noting that wave energy resources are abundant and needed now. She highlighted that many data centers are relocating to coastal ports because they require cooling and water, making them ideal locations for wave energy generation paired with AI infrastructure.
