Undersea Power Technology

Abstract

LONG TERM GOALS. The goal of this project is to develop renewable undersea power sources for floating, suspended, and bottomed surveillance and environmental sensors and communication devices. OBJECTIVES. SSC-SD will provide engineering and test support to Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) in the development, testing, and evaluation of an energy harvesting electric EEL. APPROACH. In collaboration with OPT and their academic partners, SSC-SD will (1) prepare appropriate test plans to determine EEL performance in various flow configurations; (2) operate a high-speed water tunnel in support of the defined tests; and (3) prepare data reports documenting the results.
