TEAMER: xWave - ABS Path to Certification - Prototype Validation Stage Public Release
This is CalWave's public release report for work conducted under TEAMER RFTS 12 with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) on xWave, a submerged pressure differential type Wave Energy Converter (WEC). The project focused on prototype validation within the ABS New Technology Qualification (NTQ) process. The intent of the project is to illustrate a Path to Certification using the ABS NTQ process. Providing certification for marine energy systems is critical for unlocking project financing and insurability or commercial deployments.
This submission includes the public TEAMER post access report for this project and a link to the redacted release.
This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 12 (request for technical support) program.
