LandRAY PTO Test Plans with NREL NWTC 5 MW Dynamometer

The overarching project objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of using an innovative PowerTake-Off (PTO) Module in Columbia Power's utility-scale wave energy converter (WEC). The PTO Module uniquely combines a large-diameter, direct-drive, rotary permanent magnet generator; a patent-pending rail-bearing system; and a corrosion-resistant fiber-reinforced-plastic structure.

本项目的总体目标是验证哥伦比亚动力公司在大规模波浪能转换器（WEC）中应用创新型动力回收（PTO）模块的可行性。该PTO模块独具特色，其独特之处在于结合了一台大直径、直接驱动、旋转式永磁发电机；一项待专利的轨道轴承系统；以及一种耐腐蚀的纤维增强塑料结构。
