Long-term, unattended operation of oceanographic instrumentation is dependent on the availability of power to operate the instruments. The PIs will investigate new wave power conversion technologies for use in operating oceanographic instrumentation at sea. Current wave energy conversion technologies make wave power bulky and uneconomical for oceanographic and ocean science applications. The PIs request funding to investigate enhancements that may enable integration of wave power conversion hardware into small oceanographic buoys. The proposed effort represents a significant advance over current wave energy conversion approaches and is expected to be an important step towards making wave power utilization cost-effective for ocean sensing applications.

海洋仪器的长期、无人值守操作取决于操作仪器的电源的可用性。 PI 将研究用于海上操作海洋学仪器的新型波浪能转换技术。当前的波浪能转换技术使得波浪能体积庞大且对于海洋学和海洋科学应用来说不经济。 PI 请求资金来研究增强功能，以将波浪能转换硬件集成到小型海洋浮标中。所提出的努力代表了当前波浪能转换方法的重大进步，预计将成为使波浪能利用海洋传感应用具有成本效益的重要一步。
