The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Atargis Energy Corporation (Atargis) to design, develop, and test a novel wave energy converter (WEC). Computer modeling would be performed to simulate performance of the device. A scaled model would also be developed and subjected to wave tank testing. The testing would seek to verify simulation modeling and expected conditions in the open ocean. The project would be completed over two Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
