One of the biggest untapped clean energy sources on the planet — wave energy — could one day power millions of homes across the U.S. But more than a century after the first tests of the power of ocean waves, it is still one of the hardest energy sources to capture. Now, engineers are conducting the largest model-scale wave energy testing of its kind to improve the performance of wave-energy converters (WECs).
