Project Description
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.Project Details
