Sydney-based ocean energy company, BioPower Systems, has announced the completion of tests on its 250 kW O-Drive wave power conversion module, which saw the module successfully deliver stable power to the grid over an extended period.
The O-Drive module is designed to plug into wave and tidal energy systems and convert the ocean energy harnessed by such systems into grid-ready alternating current power.

Work commenced on the O-Drive in 2008 under a project partly funded by the now closed Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Development Initiative grant program.
