WECAUV dock testing with linear actuator
WECAUV4 is a project demonstrating docking of an AUV in the large wave flume as well as real time control of an actuator simulating the motions of a WEC.
Duration: October 2025
Facility: Large Wave Flume; Linear Actuator; AUV
Conditions tested: regular, random, and no wave cases
Goals:
- Checkout of linear acuator control system for mimicing WEC motion under various wave conditions
- WEC-AUV docking
- Docking excercises under various wave conditions
- WEC-AUV docking
