Installation of Ground Receiver Unit in Tonga for Buoy Transmission: Waverider Programme : A visit was carried out to Tonga between the 28th to 30th October 1987. The purpose of the visit was to install the ground receiver unit at a favorable site where the buoy transmission could be received, power would be available, and the unit and processing PC could be attended daily in a secure compound.
Wave Energy Resource Assessment: Wave gauge deployment and multi-beam mapping in Kadavu : Assessments for wind and wave energy continued at critical locations and technical support provided as required.
Mangalilu Hydro Battery Pilot Project : A pilot micro hydropower battery charging project as a basis for rural electrification, to provide lighting to village households.
Wave data collection in Kadavu, Fiji from June 1991 to December 1993.

The aim of this study is to conduct an economic and financial evaluation of a number of
technologically-proven renewable energy projects, which have been implemented in Pacific Island
Countries, in order to assess the potential for renewable energy to play a larger role in rural
electrification strategies in the region. These include projects that utilise technologies such as
solar photovoltaic (PV) home systems, wind-hybrid systems, coconut biofuel-powered generators
and micro-hydroelectric systems. Using case studies from various Pacific Islands, the least-cost
Joint Ocean/Wave Energy Project : To develop a new project to monitor the progress with the development of ocean-based energy technologies, to extend the earlier resource assessment work carried out by SOPAC and to look at the possibility of building a ocean-based energy demonstration project in the region.
