Eco Wave Power announced that NVIDIA has published a corporate blog highlighting the company's technology for converting ocean wave energy into clean electricity using existing marine infrastructure powered by NVIDIA AI and digital twins.

The company, part of NVIDIA's Inception startup program's Sustainable Futures initiative, addresses a critical challenge facing the AI industry. As accelerated computing scales across AI factories, agentic AI, industrial AI, edge computing and physical AI systems including robotics and autonomous systems, global electricity demand is rising at unprecedented speed. Expanding grid infrastructure to meet this need requires years of permitting, transmission upgrades, land acquisition and capital investment in many regions, reshaping how the world thinks about energy infrastructure for AI.

Eco Wave Power's technology deploys wave energy generation closer to areas with growing power demand by using already-built coastal structures such as ports and industrial zones, and future AI infrastructure hubs. According to Inna Braverman, Co-founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power, wave energy is one of the largest renewable energy sources available. In the U.S. alone, wave energy could produce over 60% of annual energy consumption, according to the Energy Information Administration.

The technology works by deploying floaters, noninvasive floating infrastructure attached to breakwaters or sea walls to capture power generated by waves breaking against the shoreline. Because the density of seawater is roughly 800 times the density of air, larger amounts of energy can be generated using much smaller devices than wind turbines. Unlike previous companies that faced bottlenecks from placing computer hardware in floaters where it risked damage during rough currents, Eco Wave Power places its computers, sensors, hydraulic conversion and electric parts on land at centers, keeping expensive hardware dry and safe from storms.

Wave energy is the least intermittent source of renewable energy, generating around the clock, whereas solar energy is impacted by night, winter, cloud coverage and pollution. Digital twins of wave patterns and floating infrastructure, built with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, simulate wave conditions, structural behavior, deployment configurations and operational scenarios before physical installation, helping 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. AI models continuously analyze ocean conditions, equipment performance and energy generation patterns to improve efficiency and operational resilience.

Eco Wave Power operates projects in Jaffa Port, Israel in collaboration with EDF Power Solutions and the Israeli Energy Ministry, and in the Port of Los Angeles in collaboration 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.

Pilots are already underway at the Port of Los Angeles demonstrating how wave energy can be the sole power source for a data center without tapping into the existing grid. AI software serves as the control layer for this data center pilot, planning compute tasks based on available power supply and monitoring and predicting when waves will be stronger throughout the week based on weather patterns to allocate more intensive compute tasks accordingly. Braverman stated that the company's technology is grid connected and operational, and that the energy is needed now, positioning the company as innovative but not futuristic in its approach.
