The Pioneer Array: Harnessing Wave Power to Collect Ocean Data

Sandia National Laboratories is using the power of waves to help collect ocean data. The Pioneer Array, part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, provides publicly accessible real-time ocean data via satellite. The Pioneer currently uses wind and solar to power its sensors and instruments; however, they do not provide enough power to keep its systems online fulltime. Find out how Sandia National Laboratories Water Power Technologies team is designing a wave energy converter that uses the power of ocean waves to fully power the Pioneer. SAND2023 10747V
