Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC), and Oregon State University (OSU) will host an integrated WEC design workshop at Oregon State University. During this two day workshop, participants will work with SNL and PMEC researchers to develop a hands-on understanding of the WEC design theory and experimental testing approach with specific attention focused on dynamics, control signal processing, experimental design and analysis, and full-scale design. The course will include classroom time as well as experimental wave tank testing of a model-scale WEC device at OSU’s Hinsdale Wave Basin. Graduate students, early stage career researchers, or research scientists who work in, or are interested in, wave energy conversion are encouraged to attend.
