U.S. Navy established the Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) in the waters off Marine Corps Base Hawaii, the United States’ first grid-connected site, to the nascent commercial wave energy sector which is critically dependent on available test infrastructure to address challenges with developing Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) devices. WETS consists of test berths at 30m, 60m, and 80m water depths, and can host point absorber and oscillating water column devices to a peak power of 1 MW. HNEI provides key research support to this national effort in the form of environmental monitoring, independent WEC device performance analysis, and critical marine logistical support.
