Co-Design of Marine Energy Converters for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Docking and Recharging - Years 1 and 2 - Software and Data

Published by Oregon State University | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:03 AM | Dataset Last Updated: May 22, 2026 at 08:59 PM
Software and testing data from the OH Hinsdale Wave lab for DOE-funded project on Co-Design of Marine Energy Converters for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Docking and Recharging. This project will perform foundational research and testing to accelerate the sector-wide development and deployment of marine energy converters to provide Power-At-Sea. Specifically, we seek to overcome known challenges and knowledge gaps for the successful co-design of coupled Wave Energy Converter (WEC)-Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) systems; systems designed and tested for WEC array system health and environmental monitoring applications. This project brings together an experienced, multi-institution, and multi-disciplinary team to focus on the co-design of marine energy (ME) technologies and AUV docking systems, including multi-body hydrodynamic modeling, active control, autonomy, and hardware interfaces necessary to enable new WEC-focused understanding, and allow for robust and ubiquitous AUV docking and recharging in real-world conditions.
