CalWave WEC Open Water Demonstration - Public Final Test Report

Publicly accessible License

The objective of this project is to advance the Technology Readiness Level of the x1 Wave Energy Converter (WEC) developed by CalWave Power
Technologies Inc. through advanced numerical simulations, dynamic hardware tests, and ultimately a scaled open water demonstration deployment. Key outcomes include deployment and operation of the demonstration unit at an open water site which replicates full scale ocean conditions, and performance and load measurements which are used to validate the high techno-economic performance of the full-scale device.

This report briefly describes the x1's final system design but, as a final test report, mainly focuses on the open water testing. For further description of the WEC system the reader is referred to CalWave's system content models, which will become publicly available at the end of 2027. The full version of this Final Test Report will become available on 8/10/2028.

This WEC pilot project was done at Scripps in San Diego, California, USA.
