NREL Researchers and EHS Safety Experts Discuss Procedure for a 10kW Power Take-Off System
August 14, 2019 - NREL researchers and EHS Safety experts discuss testing parameters and procedure for a 10kW Power Take-Off (PTO) system designed for a wave energy converter on the 2.5 MW dynamometer at NREL's Flatirons Campus. A specially designed gearbox using the MMR (Mechancial Motion Rectifier) mechanism of is capable of rectifying the bi-direction input into uni-direction to drive the generator. Researchers are performing a system characterization test to determine the dynamic performance of the PTO and identify some unknown parameters. (Photo by Dennis Schroeder / NREL)
