    This document summarizes a co-location enabler wave energy converter called the Co-Location Enabler OSWEC. It is a 1MW device with a fixed location and variable depth that uses commercial off-the-shelf materials and components. It has one moving part, an enclosed modular power take-off system with a doubly-fed induction generator, and can be co-located with offshore wind turbines without compromising energy capture efficiency. Co-locating wave and wind resources can reduce power output variability and increase forecastability, lowering grid planning costs.

    ▪ Combining wave and wind resources:

    ➢ reduces aggregate power output variability


    ➢ increases power output forecastability
    ➢ reduces the operational requirement for
    reserve and regulating power (better grid
    planning)
    ➢ increases power production with better
    utilization of natural resources (marine
    area)
    ➢ reduces capex, opex (grid connection,
    maintenance, administration, insurance
    etc.)
