From Design to Ocean Deployment: Lessons Learned from the SURF-WEC Project in Hawaii (Web-based)
Since March 2026, the Small Underwater Research Flap Wave Energy Converter (SURF-WEC) - a 1m x 1m oscillating surge device - has been successfully deployed off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. Developed by the National Laboratory of the Rockies in partnership with the Hawai'i Marine Energy Center, this project represents a significant step forward in small-scale wave energy technology. Join the upcoming PRIMRE webinar for an in-depth overview of the SURF-WEC project. The SURF-WEC team will walk through the entire lifecycle--from design and build to testing, marinization, and deployment--and share critical lessons learned to help advance the wider marine energy community.
