Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) develops moored devices (‗PowerBuoys‘) that convert the power in ocean waves into useful electrical power in power capacities up to 500 kW per device. Designs reflect deployment site considerations and power requirements. Development includes modeling, numerical simulation, and ocean testing. Building on a long history of previous deployments, an autonomous PowerBuoy is presently undergoing ocean operations off New Jersey. The use of wave measurements in evaluating the PowerBuoy‘s performance is described. 1. Background The PowerBuoy utilizes the vertical or heaving motion of the sea surface, acting as a point absorber of wave energy [1]. A buoyan
