CalWave - xWave Device, Non-Commercially Sensitive Project Report

Published by CalWave Power Technologies Inc. | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:42 PM | Dataset Last Updated: April 25, 2024 at 08:40 PM
CalWave has developed a submerged pressure differential type Wave Energy Converter (WEC) architecture called xWave. The single body device oscillates submerged, is positively buoyant, and taut moored to the sea floor and integrates novel features such as absorber submergence depth control. Since participation in the US Wave Energy Prize, CalWave has evolved the design and successfully concluded a scaled 10-month open ocean pilot. CalWave recently concluded the final design phase of a scaled up WEC version for PacWave and started component order/build of the WEC towards the grid-connected demonstration at PacWave. Documentation here includes a Non-Commercially Sensitive Project Report for BP1 of CalWave's xWave Demonstration Project.
