Akselos Inc.
Demonstrating Risk Reduction of Marine Energy Support Structures through Integrated Design
Facility: National Laboratory of the Rockies
Akselos seeks the support of the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to address a core risk in Marine Energy (ME) design: the omission of detailed structural analysis for floating substructures. Internal structural details (scantlings) must be verified for ultimate strength and fatigue across all design conditions—tasks often simplified or ignored by the ME community, leading to risk of structural failure or over-design. This project addresses these risks via a case study to optimize NLR’s Reference Model 1 (RM1) marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbine. It will provide an open-source demonstration showing how coupling NLR’s OpenFAST and WEIS toolsets with Akselos’ high-fidelity platform reduces failure risk, clarifies structural constraints, and optimizes system costs for the ME community.

This effort will translate technical performance into customer-relevant metrics such as reliability, survivability, deployment logistics, and maintenance intervals, while sharpening priority use cases and refining the go-to-market strategy. The outcome will be reduced market and adoption risk, stronger preparation for paid pilot projects, and a clearer, faster pathway to early revenue and scaled deployment.
C-Power
C-Power Critical Electrical System Accelerated Life Testing
Facility: The Wallace Energy Systems & Renewables Facility (WESRF) at Oregon State University
Power electronics used in wave energy applications are deployed in extreme and highly variable operating conditions that differ significantly from the steady state operating conditions seen in traditional applications. Prolonged operation under transient conditions, along with the high occurrence of over-voltage (OV) events, can accelerate degradation of the performance and reliability of power electronics and control systems, increasing the risk of premature system failure. This project will conduct accelerated life testing on updated SeaRAY power electronics with the goal to evaluate expected performance and reduce the overall risk of faults during long-term open-water deployments. The proposed Project will support two primary bench test campaigns—dynamometer-based testing and direct power testing. Key performance metrics include power conversion efficiency degradation, OV protection response time, and control network responsiveness.
C-Power
Integration of High Fidelity CFD into Structural Analysis Workflow to Improve Predictions of Wave Power System Subjected to Environmental and Operating Loads
Facility: Cardinal Engineering
This project investigates the integration of high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations into hydrodynamic modeling workflows for wave power system (WPS) design. Current methods rely on lower-fidelity models to estimate pressure gradient loads, which can lead to overly conservative structural requirements. By incorporating advanced CFD simulations, the project will provide more accurate predictions of external pressure forces acting on core structural components in wave power systems using the SeaRAY WPS as a case study. These improved load estimates will enable optimized structural designs that have the potential to reduce mass and manufacturing costs and increase power generation efficiency. The approach will be evaluated through metrics including mass reduction, cost savings, and improved power performance.

Crown Estate Scotland
Investigating Wave Energy inter-array Impacts and Uncertainties (IWEIU)
Facility: Sandia National Laboratories
Understanding how deployment of a wave array may impact other wave arrays is critical for coordinated exploitation of the wave energy resource. Naturally, the assessment of inter-array impacts must be undertaken prior to the deployment of a wave array and so necessarily relies on numerical modeling. Currently, there is no universal agreement on how this modeling should be undertaken and the associated level of uncertainty in the model results. This project aims to investigate how different wave array representations may affect uncertainties in predicting inter-array impacts. The project outcomes will assist in planning the exploitation of the wave energy resource (for Scotland and globally), provide baseline numerical models to assess inter-array effects, estimate their uncertainty, and enhance understanding of SNL-SWAN capabilities.

Ocean Energy USA LLC
Numerical Simulation of the OE Buoy Oscillating Water Column Nozzle
Facility: Sandia National Laboratories
Recent Sandia OpenFOAM simulations of the OE35 oscillating water column device have indicated that the flow within the nozzle contracts and accelerates in the center of the nozzle, providing an opportunity to optimize power take off by concentrating the working surfaces of the power converter in this location. However, a typical power take-off device spins around a fixed rotor hub, which is located exactly where this accelerated flow was seen in previous analysis. This work will use numerical simulation to identify the trade-offs between the physical turbine blockage and the accelerating nozzle flow, and will study the effects of turbine blade location and hub geometry for optimal power capture.

Performance of Membrane Hydrofoils in Wave-Current Flows
Facility: University of Massachusetts Amherst – ORRE Wave-Current Flume
Tidal and river energy offer predictable renewable power, but current turbines face efficiency and performance challenges in variable conditions. This project advances an approach using compliant (stretchable) membrane hydrofoils that adapt their shape to flow conditions. Previous tests in uniform, low turbulence flows showed these membrane hydrofoils could extract up to 160% more energy than rigid blades in steady currents. This TEAMER project is an internal institutional support grant following on work completed under RFTS12, and will test membrane hydrofoils under realistic conditions at UMass Amherst’s Wave-Current Flume. We will measure performance when waves combine with currents, and the response of the energy harvesting system to changes in unsteadiness of the currents. Results will provide design guidelines for membrane-based tidal and fluvial hydro-kinetic energy extraction.

Observing Animal Avoidance and Encounter Rates with a Small-Scale Tidal Turbine
Facilities: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, MarineSitu
In 2023, APL-UW and project partners at PNNL and MarineSitu deployed a small-scale tidal turbine in Sequim Bay. The system was deployed for 141 days, and the turbine successfully operated and generated power. During that deployment, environmental monitoring was performed, and key findings have been published and made publicly available. While many animal interactions (birds, fish, and seals) with the turbine were observed, critical lessons were learned about how to improve sampling to more rigorously address key environmental questions. During a deployment of the 2nd generation turbine, we aim to apply these lessons learned to address data gaps needed to assess collision risk around operating turbines.
