CCell wins Power System Product of the Year at Elektra Awards
December 05 2022 - 9:00AM
CCell, whose mission is to combat coastal erosion by working in
harmony with marine habitats, won the 2022 Elektra Award for Power
System Product of the Year Nov. 30 in London – beating out 13
competing entries. CCell, based in the United Kingdom, is committed
to mitigating coastal erosion by maintaining an eco-friendly
approach to saving coastal environments and protecting communities
around the world.
Over 51% of global coastlines are being eroded due to
climate change, which is gradually undermining coastal communities
and their livelihoods. CCell, using renewable energy and innovative
power conversion technology, induces electrolysis of seawater to
combat erosion and save communities.
CCell uses Vicor’s Factorized Power Architecture to manage the
wide input voltage derived from wave and solar power sources and
deliver the output voltage required for an optimum electrolysis
process. This power module forms part of a platform, called CCell
Sense, which also enables the remote real-time monitoring of marine
ecosystems to restore habitats and the health of near-shore ocean
environments.
CCell’s reef growing system is based on the electrolysis of
seawater to deposit calcium carbonate (limestone) on large steel
frames which function as anodes and cathodes (electrodes) and give
the new reef its early structure. The technique is revolutionary in
that instead of hundreds of years, it takes just four months to
produce incredibly strong limestone rock on which coral can
grow.
“It’s an honor to be selected for this award and be recognized
for this work which we at CCell are so passionate about,” said Dr.
Will Bateman, CEO of CCell. “We are fortunate to work with some
very innovative partners and Vicor has been indispensable. They
help us deliver the precise power needed to enable limestone to
form enduring, sustainable digital living barrier reefs.”
