Project title
New power take-off (PTO) and control system for DUO wave energy technology to enable access to emerging markets
Primary Funding Agency
Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland
Co-Funding Organisation(s)
n/a
Lead Organisation
Pure Marine Gen (Ireland) Ltd
Project Abstract
The DUO wave energy converter simultaneously captures power from multiple modes of motion induced by the waves�specifically, heave (vertical motion) and pitch/surge (a rocking/horizontal motion). Numerical modelling and tank testing will act as a stepping stone to utility scale deployments in the longer term.
