The Archimedes Waveswing technology is a submerged wave power buoy designed to provide reliable and affordable power for maritime communities and offshore applications. The Waveswing reacts to changes in sub-sea water pressure caused by passing waves and converts the resulting motion to electricity via a direct-drive generator. The system is suitable for deployment in water depths in excess of 25 metres and can be configured for ratings between 25 kW and 250 kW.
Key benefits of the Waveswing technology derive from its unique operating principle, its sub-sea location and the use of direct-drive technology.
