Technology Development of the DUO wave energy converter
Pure Marine Gen has developed a design for a new wave energy converter, called the DUO, which captures power simultaneously from both the heave and the pitch/surge motions induced by wave action. The multi-mode power capture features of the DUO mean that the system can generate more electricity from a given wave environment than existing design concepts with similar production and maintenance costs – which translates directly to an equivalent reduction in the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) produced by the DUO.
Pure Marine Gen joins with University of Exeter in the next development stage and to complete a series of R&D tasks to progress the device towards commercial demonstration. Specifically, the project will contribute to product innovation through the enhancement of our existing technology particularly in structural configuration, power take off and moorings components/sub systems. The whole system will be evaluated by testing a ¼ scale device in real sea conditions at the Falmouth Bay Test site (FaBTest) which will allow validation of the power matrix and critical assumptions in LCOE models.

Node Zero - a wave powered ocean observation system
Using the renewable energy available on ocean waves to provide power at sea for ocean observation activities offers a solution with lower operational costs and significant reductions in carbon emissions, while enabling the expansion of mission durations and capabilities.
The goal of "Node Zero" is to develop the first of a global network of next- generation wave- powered, data collection Buoys and Marine Autonomous Systems hubs being developed by UK and Canadian companies at the leading edge of the next ocean technology revolution. "Node Zero" will be developed to provide oceanographic data to both National Research Council and COVE's Digital Harbour, support autonomous underwater vehicle charging, and contribute to digital twinning solutions. Field trials of the new system, in particular at Queens University Belfast's marine test site, will demonstrate the capabilities and support customer engagement activities.
UK companies PicSea and Pure Marine Gen will collaborate with Canadian companies GRi Simulations and Compusult to develop the hardware, communications, data platforms and digital twin simulations that will position the companies to offer new products and services to the rapidly growing ocean observation sector, in particular for offshore wind projects, where autonomous vehicles and renewable energy powered systems will overcome problems of bottlenecks in the supply chain for specialist vessels and the pursuits of net zero solutions.
DUO Wave power unit for recharging autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)
Pure Marine has developed and patented a new design for a wave energy converter, called DUO, which produces wave power from both the up and down, and the side to side, wave motions at the same time -- and this delivers a step change improvement in the economics of wave energy production.
The company is initially targeting markets for the supply of their wave energy technology to customers requiring a low cost, low carbon alternative to off-grid energy generation. Applications include power for marine observation systems, wave powered desalination systems and recharging autonomous underwater vehicles to extend their mission range. In the longer-term the DUO technology can be scaled up for deployment in large wave farms arrays for grid connected energy generation projects.
