Testing of wave energy converters using the Ocean Sentinel Instrumentation Buoy

Creator:

Lettenmaier, Terrance

Abstract:

Ocean testing of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) prototypes is necessary to facilitate commercial WEC development. The Ocean Sentinel Instrumentation Buoy, completed in August 2012, provides a stand-alone load for WEC prototypes during ocean testing. The first part of this work was to develop the power conversion and data acquisition equipment...
