The Azura scaled prototype has successfully completed 19 months of grid-connected open ocean testing at the US Navy’s Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) in Kaneohe, Hawaii. The Azura was deployed from June 2015 to December 2016. Data collection and processing was done by The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, providing independent data validation. Figure 1 shows the Azura deployed at WETS. The test concluded with some major accomplishments, including validation of computer simulations, demonstration of a robust design, and marine operations experience.
