# Background

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute ([MBARI](https://www.mbari.org)) Wave-Energy converter
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute ([MBARI](http://www.mbari.org)) Wave-Energy Converter
is a point-absorber type wave-energy converter that has been operating in Monterey Bay, CA since
2014. This system was developed as part of MBARI's goals of advancing and demonstrating an
autonomous and persistent presence of oceanographic instrumentation in the worlds oceans. This
project is complemented by developments in autonomous underwater vehicles, underwater vehicle
docking, oceanographic instrumentation, autonomy, and science use.

The MBARI-WEC is currently maintained by MBARI and operates for six-month periods near the MBARI
facility in Moss Landing, California, and averages about 250 Watts of power capture, averaged
through the weather cycles and seasons.

The MBARI-WEC is a complete system with a four-quadrant electro-hydraulic power-take-off device,
board battery storage, control-computers, sensors and instrumentation, and an always-on cell-modem
connection to the internet. The architecture of the system is such that critical functions are
performed by micro-controllers throughout the system that implement default behaviors and stream
