Design and Data Documentation for the Hydraulic and Electric Reverse Osmosis Wave Energy Converter
The NREL team developed the HERO WEC device, in part, as an educational platform to lower costs and barriers to entry into wave energy. The following is a collection of documentation explaining the specifics around how the device was built and how it functions, ideally opening the door to further iteration and collaboration.
Water power researchers and research technicians prepare the HERO WEC for testing on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s large-amplitude motion platform.
