Electro Standards Laboratories will use the funding from the Phase I STTR to develop and test small, affordable 100-200W power technology derived from ocean energy extraction. Sensor applications requiring energy will be located on a buoy. The motivation for the development of a buoy-based observatory is the need to acquire long-duration time series measurements of a variety of processes. It is anticipated that ocean energy extraction can serve as a power source for sensors. For more details on this technology review  a report entitled Ocean Wave Energy Harvesting Buoy for Sensors by Steven P. Bastien and Raymond B. Sepe, Jr. of Electro Standards Laboratories and Annette R. Grilli, Stephan T. Grilli and Malcolm L. Spaulding of the University of Rhode Island.
