The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Columbia Power Technologies, Inc. (C-Power) to design, develop, and test a novel low-power wave-energy-converter (WEC). The project would gather system requirements, determine potential energy storage technologies for integration into the WEC, and build on previous research to develop systems and sub-systems. A prototype WEC, the dataRAY, would be fabricated and tested in open-water to validate its performance. The project would be completed over two Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
