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.

由于目前波浪能装置的技术限制，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的波浪能转换器（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可以克服或显著减少现有WEC的缺点，结构紧凑，重量轻（约30倍），确保生存能力，并且具有低成本的安装和维护。该项目预计将在流体-结构相互作用，控制系统和WEC和其他应用的电气转换方面提供新的理论成果。WEC将通过经过测试的概念验证物理模型进行演示。
