Answer to Question 1

Point absorber units move by wave action with respect to a fixed submerged reference. The motion can be used to drive a hydraulic motor and generator to create electricity. Because they are axially symmetrical, point absorbers can work with waves moving in any direction.

Answer to Question 2

The difference is in the size of the generator. A microhydroelectric system produces less than100 kilowatts (kW) of electricity. A picohydroelectric system has a generator that is smaller than 5kW.
