Oscilla Power is in the final stages of constructing the 1:20 scale model of its Triton™ WEC. We are currently integrating PTO and instrumentation onto the fiberglass surface float hull, which arrived from Janicki Industries a couple of weeks ago. The foam mold for the heave plate arrived from Janicki today and we will be casting the concrete heave plate structure in it later this week. A trial cast of a heave plate ring section yielded successful results.
Following the build and final instrumentation checks, the model will be shipped to the University of Maine, where we will perform pre-testing at the W2 wave basin in early July.
