Abstract
This document describes the results of the system level design, performance and cost study for both a feasibility demonstration pilot plant and a commercial size offshore wave power plant installed off the coast of Oregon. For purposes of this point design study, the Oregon stakeholders selected the Ocean Power Delivery (OPD) Pelamis wave energy conversion (WEC) device, Coos Bay for fabrication of the device, grid connection at the Gardiner substation in Douglas County and a deployment site approximately 5 km due west of the substation at a water depth of 60 meters. The study was carried out using the methodology and standards established in the Design Methodology Report (Reference 1), the Power Production Performance Methodology Report (Reference 2) and the Cost Estimate and Economics Assessment Methodology Report (Reference 3).
