Eco Wave Power Uses NVIDIA AI and Digital Twins to Harness Wave Energy
The partnership applies NVIDIA's simulation and AI tools to a renewable energy source that the company claims could cover over 60% of annual U.S. energy consumption, addressing grid demand driven by AI growth.

Eco Wave Power, a participant in NVIDIA Inception's Sustainable Futures Initiative, is developing a wave energy conversion system using NVIDIA's AI infrastructure and Omniverse digital twins. The system attaches floating structures to existing breakwaters, keeping sensitive equipment onshore, and aims to generate clean electricity near high-demand areas like ports and AI data centers.
Eco Wave Power, an energy company in NVIDIA Inception's Sustainable Futures Initiative, is building a wave energy conversion system that uses NVIDIA's AI infrastructure and Omniverse digital twins. The system attaches floating structures to existing breakwaters, converting wave motion into electricity while keeping computers, sensors, and hydraulic converters onshore to avoid damage from rough seas. CEO Inna Braverman said wave power can generate electricity 24/7, unlike solar, and that seawater's density allows smaller devices than wind turbines to produce more energy. The company already operates a system at the Port of Jaffa in Israel and a project at the Port of Los Angeles.
