H3 StingRAY Final Design and Technical Report
The goal of this Project was to develop a standards-compliant, fabrication-ready design of Columbia Power Technologies' (C-Power) next-generation wave energy converter (WEC), the StingRAY H3. The H3 is a design iteration of C-Power's StingRAY WEC and is intended for electrical power generation suitable for utility grid or remote loads. The H3 was designed for grid-connection and at least two years of continuous testing and operation at the proposed PacWave-South (PWS) test site.
The H3 design is intended to deliver an innovative, high-performance, survivable, and reliable device that is acceptable to potential customers, regulators, and other stakeholders, while also demonstrating the StingRAY's path towards cost-competitive electricity generation.
