Intentium Offshore Wave Energy Converter

The Intentium floating converter is focused on the dominant wave direction and wave crest length, and uses a double acting pump, has a buoyancy controlled water anchor and a Power Take Off (PTO) consisting in accumulator, water turbine and generator. With a 30 meter long float and under optimum circumstances, one Intentium wave energy converter will have the capacity of 1MW.
