Oscilla Power recently completed a successful two weeks at the Carderock MASK basin, where we tested the 1:20 scale Triton wave energy converter. We were pleased to complete the required competition waves by mid-week, leaving time for a number of additional tests using different configurations. The model’s power output was well matched to our numerical models and earlier testing.
It was a privilege to have access to one of the best wave basins in the world, and the data and experience acquired will be invaluable on
our path forward. None of this would have been possible without the professionalism of the Wave Energy Prize, Carderock, and Data Analyst teams and we are grateful for their efforts. We wish the remaining teams the best of luck and look forward to the Prize announcement in November.
