Unlimited Marine Energy, Continuous Ocean Insights

The HydrokinetX Solution

The HydrokinetX patented ocean observation platform is a monitoring buoy with its own regenerative power supply. Our patent pending kelp-inspired power converter extends the life and capabilities of our ocean monitoring buoy so that we can collect more data with fewer service deployments. With continuous power, we unlock continuous ocean data and insights to revolutionize data capture in the marine world.

Our Mission

At HydrokinetX, we harness marine energy to power continuous ocean data solutions. Our team is passionate about empowering coastal communities with the ocean insights that are crucial for their day-to-day lives. Whether it’s predictive rip current warnings, more accurate storm forecasts, or marine life monitoring, we are committed to enhancing the quality and quantity of the data that is crucial to understand the ocean. With an unlimited power supply at sea, we enable real-time edge computing insights for everyone who uses ocean data while reducing operational and maintenance costs for ocean data collection.

Technology

Ocean Data Needs More Power

The ocean industry is hungry for more data, but data collection has always been limited by the available power supply at sea. Solar panels are inefficient and require regular cleaning, and fuel cells and batteries must be replenished and replaced.

As advanced AI techniques evolve, substantially more data is required to unlock high accuracy predictive insights for weather forecasts, defensive surveillance, and climate change understanding. HydrokinetX powers ocean observation platforms with unlimited marine energy to transmit continuous data insights while reducing the frequency of service trips, keeping operations teams safely on shore and enabling real-time action from changes in ocean conditions.

How it Works

The HydrokinetX patented ocean observation platform unlocks and accelerates continuous environmental data capture at sea. Our unique kelp-inspired power converter harnesses renewable energy from the motion of the water. This energy can scale to meet the requirements of our customizable sensor configurations, so your data is no longer limited by the power supply. By scaling renewable power generation, we bring edge computing insights to all marine environments.

Solving Problems at Sea

Researchers working in the Gulf of Alaska cannot rely on solar power year-round, so their ocean monitoring equipment requires monthly service visits to replace a marine battery. Each visit has to be carefully timed around the weather for safety, and the operational work to get out to sea and back costs days of valuable research time. HydrokinetX can extend the life of marine batteries where solar falls short, providing continuous monitoring and reducing the frequency of expensive service deployments.

aquaculture

As oceans warm, aquaculture farms are moving further offshore to find ideal growing temperatures. The water is rougher and harder to access, so solar panels that provide energy for these farms are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. HydrokinetX offers an unlimited energy supply and continuous monitoring data so that aquaculture farmers always know what’s happening at sea, guaranteeing the best harvest possible.
