Centipod WEC Design for PacWave (Final Technical Report)
This project developed a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system design that was ready for fabrication, deployment, and prototype testing at PacWave. The WEC design incorporated the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Specifications (TS) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards to ensure that designs are fully ready to utilize for future fabrication and open-water testing. Moreover, the project began the certification process with a certification provider, allowing for a seamless continuation into future work beyond project-end.
