Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) has demonstrated the ability of Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) to attach itself remotely to wave-powered buoy and establish a connection that will enable charging.

The achievement was made during on-water trials conducted earlier in August. According to OPT, the successful connection to its wave energy converter PowerBuoy that will enable charging represents a significant leap forward in the integration of renewable energy sources within the maritime industry.
