This is the raw LCOE model used to establish baseline performance for the M3 Wave DMP/APEX submerged mid-column pressure differential WEC. The model includes initial capital cost, levelized replacement cost, levelized operations and maintenance cost, and net annual energy producti...

This downselect report follows the progression from initial concept pool to final concepts moving forward to tank testing. Included is a brief discussion of anticipated impacts of the 3 finalists.

Laboratory Testing Content Model of Hinsdale 1:5 testing of thirteen different APEX I and APEX II configurations in the Long Wave Flume with a 0.5m deep sediment bed and under 4 different wave conditions.

Configurations as tested and modeled in final phase of project.

Detailed laboratory test plan including test points, materials and methods, and sensors/telemetry to be used. Includes schematics of test apparatus and sensor type and locations.

This is a preliminary test plan for testing at Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Additional logistical details and instrumentation specifics will be added as engineering and planning wraps up.

Complete dataset from wave tank testing. Subdirectories include Readme files where appropriate to aid in navigation.

This “survival test report” summarizes the key tank test data, numerical model results, input test conditions (both numerical and tank testing), and crosses these items with three designs of the APEX wave energy converter. The baseline design of APEX is included, in addition t...

In 2014, open water testing revealed that sediment scour around and under the device was significant and likely interrupted operations. To explore methods to mitigate this phenomenon, M3 developed a number of alternate concepts as detailed in concept sketches. This submission incl...

Summary of numerical survivability modeling method for the baseline APEX geometry.
