CX-033019: Wave-to-Wire Prototype Development and Testing of Real-Time Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Docking and Recharging from Wave Energy Converters

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Oregon State University (OSU) to develop the supporting theory, algorithms, and mechanical design to demonstrate wave-to-wire docking and recharging with real-time communication between wave energy converter (WEC)/dock infrastructure and an automated underwater vehicle (AUV).
