In January, Oscilla Power completed 1:50 model testing at the University of Maine. Real-time results suggested that we achieved excellent agreement with our numerical model and earlier tank testing. Staff at the University of Maine were extremely helpful during the testing, enabling everything to go very smoothly. Once the official testing was complete, we were able to spend extra time investigating alternate system configurations that will provide increased power capture at longer periods.
