The overall objective of the project was to verify the ocean wavelength functionality of the WET-NZ through targeted hydrodynamic testing at wave tank scale and controlled open sea deployment of a 1/2 scale (1:2) experimental device. This objective was accomplished through a series of tasks designed to achieve four specific goals: Wave Tank Testing to Characterize Hydrodynamic Characteristics; Open-Sea Testing of a New 1:2 Scale Experimental Model; Synthesis and Analysis to Demonstrate and Confirm TRL5/6 Status; Market Impact & Competitor Analysis, Business Plan and Commercialization Strategy
