This project will enable early-stage research that furthers the development of transformative, reliable, and cost competitive MHK technologies and reduce critical deployment barriers, as well as to meet the long-term goal of reducing the cost of energy of MRE systems. The deliverables will empower effective and efficient MRE early stage (and higher TRL) R&D by codifying relevant best-practice knowledge and experience, leverage prior instrumentation development efforts, and fill gaps to decrease the timelines and costs for commercially viable technology. It will help accelerate the development, acceptance and deployment of MHK technology by leveraging prior investments by DOE, the offshore engineering and measurement community, the MHK sector, and the Navy, as well as, verify solutions in upcoming DOE funded testing campaigns.
