The Wave Knergy Technology (WET) project is an Office of Naval Research (ONR) research and development undertaking to convert the mechanical energy of ocean waves into electricity. A small demonstration project, in progress now off the coast of Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH), is intended principally to develop and validate the technology base required to design and reliably operate wave energy converters in the ocean and connect them to an electrical grid. The first deployment phase of the WET project began in at MCBH in September 2003.
