Research - Energy Technology

Wave Energy Technology - a wave energy device that maximises engineering efficiency through the novel use of direct-drive and adaptive response to changes in wave motion. The majority of the device is submerged but floating and is designed to operate in transitional / deepwater waves (20-100 m). It will seek to harness both kinetic and potential energy from passing waves.Reference:

Wind Turbines NZ - They supply about 4% of New Zealand’s annual electricity generation, which is about the same amount of electricity as 180,000 New Zealand homes use in a year.
