Abstract

This report describes a series of tests performed on a "pitch resonator" concept for a wave energy converter. The overall testing campaign goals centered on risk reduction for the pitch resonator wave energy converter concept and model validation. Two modes of testing are captured in this report: one using a single degree of freedom test rig and one in which a six degree of freedom Stewart platform was employed.
