Oregon Coast Wave Power Profile
Oregon State University researchers are
pursuing “direct drive” technologies, where the
force and velocity of the water is directly
coupled to electrical generation without
intermediate hydraulics or pneumatics.
Survivability is paramount for ocean energy
devices.
By removing intermediate conversion
stages, overall system efficiency and reliability
can be increased.
