Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) is a nonprofit public-private partnership funded by the Oregon Innovation Council. Its mission is to support the responsible development of wave energy in Oregon. OWET emphasizes an inclusive, collaborative model to ensure that Oregon maintains its competitive advantage and maximizes the economic development potential of...
This work was funded by OWET as part of its efforts to support policy and regulatory framework development to advance the wave energy industry. During the development of the Management Approaches, Phased Development, Marine Spatial Planning, and Socioeconomics sections of the Framework, key gaps in the available information and data...
The objective of this study is to identify potential end-users of the test center and their needs. The findings will inform the infrastructure design and the services offered for the PMEC South Energy Test Site.
OWET commissioned this gap analysis to assess the infrastructure needs of ocean renewable energy and compare those needs against the existing and planned infrastructure capabilities in Oregon. The Wave Energy Infrastructure Assessment in Oregon report summarizes the results of the assessment performed by Advanced Research
Corporation and is intended to...
This report establishes an industry knowledge base for existing anchoring and mooring techniques as applied to wave energy conversion (WEC) devices in and around Oregon. This report on anchoring and mooring techniques is derived from the cumulative experiences of engineers and scientists with many years of experience analyzing, designing and...
