Ocean Harvesting completes testing of InfinityWEC power take-off and control system in a scale 1:10 test rig
Karlskrona/Gothenburg, Sweden; 5 May, 2022 – Ocean Harvesting has successfully completed the testing of a prototype in scale 1:10 of the power take-off (PTO) and the control system for the wave energy converter InfinityWEC. The design, build and testing in the rig was part of a project co-financed by the Swedish Energy Agency.[InfinityWEC power takeoff hardwareintheloop test rig at scale 110] To obtain a realistic load on the machinery, a scaled hydrodynamic model of a full-size wave energy converter (WEC) was used in combination with the physical PTO prototype and a real-time control
