		The enterprise minister, Jim Wallace, is due to inaugurate Pelamis, a device the size of a small train, at a ceremony at Leith docks tomorrow.
		Pelamis will be towed up to the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, where it will be tested in the sea.
		Pelamis is the result of six years of research and development, backed by the Department of Transport and Industry’s new and renewable energy programme.

	Hydro - Wave power project nears prototype stage
		Before the Pelamis prototype is installed off Orkney this summer, the full-scale joint test rig will have been run in an accelerated lifetime test for three months.
		Pelamis is designed to harvest maximum energy from small waves and limit power absorbtion in large waves.
		Pelamis performs best at sea depths between 50-100 meters, where ocean swell energy is optimally harnessed at practical offshore distances.

		The Pelamis is designed to be deployed in modular arrays, 30 MW would occupy just one km2, in waters approximately 50-70m in depth where the high energy levels found in deep swell waves can be accessed.
		Pelamis has the potential to be a major UK success story; not only was the Pelamis built in the UK, over 90 percent of the device was sourced from within the UK and its ongoing development continues to utilise the skills of local and national companies alike.
		Pelamis has already passed a major industry milestone by providing power to the local electricity grid.

		The Pelamis WEC is the first full-scale machine to be installed at the test centre.
		The energy produced by the Pelamis will always be dependent upon the conditions of the installation site, however, OPD predict that at a typical site about 40% of the full rated output potential should be achieveable.
		Due to the Pelamis' optimisation of power capture for small sea states, power output is flatter during the year compared to incident power levels.

		By partnering with established wind farm developer Wind Prospect, and forming Ocean Prospect, the Pelamis technology is extremely well poised for projects off the UK and abroad.
		The first full-size Pelamis has a rated capacity of 750 kW, although subsequent advancements in the technology may allow a 1 MW+ model to be developed in the future.
		The Pelamis is 150 metres long, has a diameter of 3.5 metres and a weight of approximately 700 tonnes.

	First UK wave power delivered
		Ocean Power Delivery's Pelamis, the world's first commercial-scale floating Wave Energy Converter (WEC), successfully installed at the newly opened European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney and completed its first phase of electricity generation into the UK grid.
		Richard Yemm, Managing Director of OPD said; "Installation of the Pelamis prototype at EMEC went smoothly, and it is tremendously exciting to generate our first power into the grid.
		Pelamis, which has a power output of 750kW — enough to power more than 500 homes, will now undergo further sea trials.

		Pelamis is a large scale wave energy device which is close to production and will be the technology used in Ocean Prospect’s first projects.
		Regional government in the south west is very supportive of wave energy and is proposing the Wave Hub offshore connection facility which Ocean Prospect hopes to use for its first demonstration project in 2006.
		Pelamis is UK technology and its development and deployment offers potential for job creation and industrial development in addition to the environmental benefits of renewable energy generation.

		Hence the Pelamis plutarus, the invention which industry insiders tip as the most likely winner of the race for the renewable energy crown.
		In the case of OPD’s Pelamis WEC, the clue may be in the name: Pelamis plutarus is the most abundant sea snake in the world, with a massive geographic range across the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
		If the Pelamis WEC can spread like that, Scotland could be in the vanguard of a cash bonanza with the potential to outstrip the wind-energy gold rush sweeping across these shores.

		It is anticipated that future `wave farm' projects would consist of an arrangement of interlinked multi-machines connected to shore by a single subsea cable.
		The machine is held in position by a mooring system, for which a patent has been applied for, comprising of a combination of floats and weights which prevent the mooring cables becoming taut..
		Ideally the Pelamis would be moored in waters approximately 50-60m in depth (often 5-10km from the shore).

		The Pelamis project is the first deep-water, grid-connected trial of a full-size wave power generator to take place anywhere in the world.
		Named after the Greek word for sea snake, the Pelamis wave power machine is currently installed and undergoing sea trials at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney.
		Each single 750-kilowatt Pelamis could generate the same amount of power as a wind turbine, and a ‘wave farm’ covering a square kilometre of ocean could provide a power output of 30 megawatts, enough electricity for 20,000 homes.

		There is still much debate about the generic placement of the skipjack, some prefer to group it with other members of the genus Euthynnus, while others recommend it be placed in its own genus, Katsuwonus.
		The species name pelamis is derived from Latin, meaning "tunny".
		English language common names include skipjack tuna, skipjack, arctic bonito, atlantic bonito, banjo, bonito, lesser tunny, mushmouth, ocean bonito, oceanic skipjack, skipper, skippy, stripe bellied bonito, striped bellied tunny, striped bonito, striped tunny, victor fish, watermelon, and white bonito.
