Wave Energy Prize - 1/20th Testing - M3 Wave Submerged Mid-Column Pressure Differential

Published by Ricardo Detroit Technical Center | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:42 PM | Dataset Last Updated: July 02, 2020 at 03:25 PM
Data from the 1/20th scale testing data completed on the Wave Energy Prize for the M3 Wave team, including the 1/20th scale test plan, raw test data, video, photos, and data analysis results. The top level objective of the 1/20th scale device testing is to obtain the necessary measurements required for determining Average Climate Capture Width per Characteristic Capital Expenditure (ACE) and the Hydrodynamic Performance Quality (HPQ), key metrics for determining the Wave Energy Prize (WEP) winners.
