WaveGem
GEPS Techno’s hybrid WAVEGEM platform is designed to harvest wave and solar energy to power marine or island installations that do not have access to traditional electricity grids. The platform converts wave energy into electricity using the float’s movements to create a closed circulation of seawater through a low speed turbine. This type of platform is intended for oil and gas, marine renewable energy, mining and aquaculture sectors.
