The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Oscilla Power to design, develop, fabricate, and test a novel ocean wave energy converter (WEC). This project would build upon previous work conducted by Oscilla Power and would seek to further the conceptual design of the WEC. A scale prototype, “Triton,” would be developed and tested in ocean waters near the University of Maine.
