Efficiently unlocking full-scale WEC dynamics for industry cost reduction

该项目将把学术界的领先专业知识与尖端技术和工业界的全面数据结合起来，推动海浪能转换器的海洋力量在工业模型中的体现，从而降低海浪能的成本。这些模型对于设计和控制比以往任何时候都有更大运动的下一代波能转换器至关重要。经过仔细测试的模型将导致对电力生产和负荷的更好估计，这将降低波浪能的成本并使其能够大规模利用。广泛的利益交流和新知识的分享将加速澳大利亚海洋能源的商业化，并为满足我们未来的能源需求铺平道路。

This project will reduce the cost of ocean wave energy, by uniting leading expertise from academia with cutting-edge know-how and full-scale data from industry to advance the way oceanic forces on wave energy converters are represented in industry models. These models are critical for designing and controlling the next generation of wave energy converters, which have larger motions than ever before. Carefully tested models will lead to better estimates of power production and loads, which will drive down the cost of wave energy and enable its large-scale utilisation. Broad communication of benefits and sharing of new knowledge will accelerate commercialisation of ocean energy in Australia and pave the way to meeting our future energy needs.
