H2O: Wave Energy Converters Could Be Clean Power Solution for Offshore Aquaculture Farms
This is the first in a series of articles highlighting projects advanced through the U.S. Testing Expertise and Access for Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) program. TEAMER provides marine energy technology researchers and developers with streamlined access to U.S.-based test facilities and world-class technical expertise. Since TEAMER launched in 2020, the program has supported more than 160 marine energy physical testing and numerical modeling projects with more than $28 million in technical support.
This opportunity for testing is essential for companies like E-Wave Technologies. Over the course of five rounds of technical support, TEAMER supplemented funding from the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program and helped E-Wave develop a wave energy converter (WEC) from concept to test-validated device. The E-Wave WEC is designed to power offshore aquaculture farms with clean and affordable energy, and E-Wave is now advancing it toward commercialization. Read the full article here:
