CalWave Open Water Demo - Budget Period 1 Reports

Description

The objective of the project is to advance the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of the Wave Energy Converter (WEC) developed by CalWave Wave Power Technologies Inc (CalWave) through advanced numerical simulations, dynamic hardware tests, and ultimately a scaled open water demonstration deployment while continuing to exceed DOE's target ACE threshold of 3m/M$. The outcomes of Budget Period 1 will be a detailed design of the scaled demonstration unit and bench testing of the critical hardware components.

Component Content Model Info.xlsx XLS The Component Content Model provides data submitters with an easy and consistent means of uploading data and associated meta data about a component that is currently under development. The data fields include generic information about the component, technology classifications, current costs and performance, proposed target goals, and the environment that the component is operated in. These data are important to DOE and will be used to develop data products that provide quantitative information to guide and support programmatic decisions. Data will also be used by DOE in general assessments of MHK component readiness, performance, costs, and proposed plans. The ultimate goal is to use these data to perform research and tailor programs to best benefit the industry. Open resource
