Wave Energy Prize - 1/20th Testing - Sea Potential DUO Point Absorber

Published by Ricardo Detroit Technical Center | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-07-02T15:26:17Z
Data from the 1/20th scale testing data completed on the Wave Energy Prize for the Sea Potential team, including the 1/20th scale test plan, raw test data, video, photos, and data analysis results. The top level objective of the 1/20th scale device testing is to obtain the necessary measurements required for determining Average Climate Capture Width per Characteristic Capital Expenditure (ACE) and the Hydrodynamic Performance Quality (HPQ), key metrics for determining the Wave Energy Prize (WEP) winners.
