THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ADVANCE THE SEARAY K2 AUTONOMOUS OFFSHORE POWER SYSTEM (AOPS) TO COMMERCIAL READINESS. AN AOPS IS A NEW CLASS OF WAVE ENERGY SYSTEM; IT IS A MULTI-PURPOSE PLATFORM THAT TARGETS BLUE ECONOMY APPLICATIONS OF PROVIDING POWER FOR REMOTE OFFSHORE AND SHORE-BASED MINI- AND MICRO-GRIDS. ONE TARGETED APPLICATION IS DELIVERING POWER AND DATA AT SEA (PDAS) FOR COMMERCIAL, DEFENSE, SECURITY, AND RESEARCH MARKETS THAT REQUIRE RESIDENT POWER AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS FOR THEIR OFFSHORE MOBILE AND STATIC ASSETS. WITHIN THIS APPLICATION, AN AOPS CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS THE COMBINATION OF AN OFFSHORE CHARGING STATION, DATA SERVER, AND CELL TOWER.
