Turning India's Waves into Continuous Clean Power
Kurma engineers proprietary, above-water wave energy converters. We deliver baseline grid electricity while building a dynamic barrier against severe shoreline erosion.
Raw potential wave-energy capacity mapped continuously along India's strategic marine lifelines.
India's statutory non-fossil capacity mandate by 2030, accelerating clean integration timelines.
Projected capitalization of the worldwide macro wave energy sector within the 2033 investment horizon.
Mechanical Innovation
A Wave Converter Designed to Stay Dry
Traditional ocean energy equipment fails due to aggressive marine environments. Inspired by the mathematically proven Salter Duck architecture, Kurma relocates all primary power take-off sub-mechanisms entirely above the splash zone.
Eliminating Saltwater Corrosion
Unlike standard sub-surface gearboxes, our primary power take-off units function in dry chambers, preventing direct electrochemical scaling.
Double-Action Kinetic Capture
Designed to efficiently absorb both horizontal surging forces and vertical orbital displacements, yielding higher density output than static breakwaters.
Zero Land Footprint Requirement
Generates high density power output of 12-240 kWh/day per linear coastal meter, operating day and night without requiring arable property allocations.
Architectural Advantage
A strategic evaluation showing how Kurma addresses the fundamental limits of first-generation marine engineering layouts.
| Architectural Vector | Traditional Offshore Floats | Static Shoreline Systems | Kurma Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kinetic Vector Mapping | Captures simple single-surface motion limits. | Highly dependent on fixed structure boundaries. | Harnesses synchronized dual horizontal and vertical profiles. |
| Deployment Scalability | Requires intensive deep-sea dynamic mooring arrays. | Limited strictly to pre-existing heavy port architectures. | Modular configurations optimized across varying shallow conditions. |
| Corrosive Vulnerability | Extreme. All primary components operate submerged. | High risk from continuous localized wave impact. | Isolated above-water dry-room houses all vital drivetrains. |
