The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Resolute Marine Energy (RME) to design, develop, fabricate and test a low-speed, seawater-compatible rotary pump for use in a novel desalination system using wave energy conversion (WEC) technology. The project would also seek to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time control of flap load on its WEC prototype.
