Congratulations 2021 ORISE Scholars

Congratulations to Trent Dillon, Ali Trueworthy and Katherine Van Ness, three PMEC students chosen as ORISE WPTO-MHK Graduate Student Research Program fellows for 2021. The U.S. Department of Energy’s ORISE fellowship partners high performing graduate students with national labs and private industry to focus on early-stage research and development.

Liquid Grid: Blue Tech Voices – Directors of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC)

Liquid Grid: Blue Tech Voices – Directors of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC)

The Directors of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC) discuss startups, the blue economy, and marine renewable energy as part of The Liquid Grid’s Blue Tech Voices series.

Nonlinear Control for Wave Energy Converters: getting the power we want, when we want it

Because a wave energy farm has no control over converging waves, the wave energy conversion devices themselves must be controlled. PMEC researchers study device control methods that can allow operators to get the power they want, when they want it.

PMEC Students and Faculty Attend Water Power Week in Washington D.C.

The 2019 International Marine Renewable Energy Conference (IMREC) was hosted in Washington D.C. last week alongside the National Hydropower Association’s annual conference and the Marine Energy Technology Symposium (METS). The event was an excellent opportunity for PMEC researchers from OSU, UW, and UAF to convene and share their work, both among each other and across the marine energy field at large.

PMEC - The Promise of the Ocean, the Challenge of the Problem, and the Blending of Disciplines

An individual may never be an expert in marine energy. There are plenty of experts working in the field, but they are experts in hydrodynamics, acoustics, control systems, design, oceanography, coastal dynamics, sociology, community dynamics, marine biology, naval engineering, mechanics, robotics, natural resource management, or one of many other disciplines which make up the community here at PMEC. That’s right, they are all here - and that is what makes PMEC so special.

Wave Energy Prize winners, Aquaharmonics, test wave energy converter at O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory

After 11 days of testing in the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Lab (HWRL), Alex Hagmuller and Max Ginsburg of Aquaharmonics left with high hopes. The team of Oregon State University graduates is testing a 1/20th scale version of the device concept that won the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wave Energy Prize.
