Collaborative TPL Assessment of Wave Energy Converters and Farms

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1894648
The Technology Performance Level (TPL) assessment is a holistic methodology to assess a wave energy converter (WEC) technology’s ability to achieve [continental grid] market competitiveness and acceptability via criteria-based consideration of key cost, performance, environmental, safety, and societal drivers. The TPL assessment can be applied at all technology development stages and associated technology readiness levels (TRLs).
