WPTO's Marine Energy e-newsletter shares news and updates on tools, analysis, and emerging technologies to advance marine energy.
Below are stories about marine energy featured by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office.
Michael Kelly, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley, will assess how flexible-inflatable wave energy converters perform relative to their rigid counterparts when coupled with traditional, high-efficiency power take-off systems.
While working on master's and doctoral degrees at Oregon State University, Ali Trueworthy will develop a user-centered design methodology for high-performance wave energy devices during her fellowship.
WPTO has selected three projects in 2021, all focused on developing different applications of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s patented Superhydrophobic Lubricant Infused Composite (SLIC) technology.
By providing tidal energy to the local utility grid, Verdant Power’s RITE Project exemplifies how tidal power can be incorporated into the existing power system.
WPTO is working harder to protect, understand, and leverage the immense power and promise of the ocean.
The twelve selected small businesses will receive Phase I Release 2 grants of up to $200,000 to explore the technical feasibility of innovative solutions in marine energy.
Nontraditional thinking empowers today's marine industry disrupters.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy announced the 17 teams chosen to participate in the 2022 Marine Energy Collegiate Competition: Powering the Blue Economy™.
This Earth Day, Verdant Power is celebrating a major milestone—exactly six months since its Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project successfully deployed in New York City’s East River.
Of the many natural gifts we can appreciate on Earth Day, it's hard to think of one more versatile—or more vital—than water.
