The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Michigan State University a $441,538 project grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant supports research titled "FLOATING OFFSHORE PLATFORM AND WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER INTEGRATION: COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM STABILIZATION AND ENERGY CONVERSION" from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2024.
The research aims to develop integrated solutions for platform stabilization and wave energy conversion on floating offshore structures. It will investigate coupling dynamics between floating platforms and attached wave energy converters to optimize energy absorption while maintaining platform stability. Outcomes seek to advance offshore renewable technologies through collaborative efforts in mechanical and civil engineering.
