This project focuses on collecting and analyzing data to inform standards and certification development efforts by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee (TC) 114 Ocean Energy. IEC TC114 is responsible for developing standards that define the international requirements for all ocean energy devices in the future. Participation, including reviewing and proposing data-based improvements to recommended standards, in these groups is essential because such interactions broaden and streamline adoption of marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) devices in the global marketplace and ensure that the interests of the U.S. industry and the DOE are established and maintained.
