Australia has an abundant source of wave-energy commercially untapped due to technical limitations of current wave-energy devices. This project aims to develop a novel wave-energy converter (WEC) that integrates energy capture and electricity generation through a single mechanism. This novel WEC can overcome or significantly reduce the drawbacks of existing WECs, is compact and light-weight (about 30 times less), ensures survivability, and has low-cost installation and maintenance. The project expects to deliver novel theoretical results in fluid-structure interaction, control systems and electrical conversion for WECs and other applications. The WEC will be demonstrated via a tested proof-of-concept physical model.

由于当前波浪能设备的技术限制，澳大利亚拥有丰富的波浪能资源，尚未进行商业开发。该项目旨在开发一种新型波浪能转换器（WEC），通过单一机制将能量捕获和发电集成在一起。这种新型WEC可以克服或显着减少现有WEC的缺点，结构紧凑、重量轻（约轻30倍）、保证生存能力、安装和维护成本低。该项目预计在 WEC 和其他应用的流固耦合、控制系统和电气转换方面提供新颖的理论成果。 WEC 将通过经过测试的概念验证物理模型进行演示。
