SeaRAY leverages Vicor tech to convert wave energy

The extremely lightweight SeaRAY architecture, with its ultra-compact footprint and highly efficient data conversion capability, required intense focus on the power conversion subsystem. The Vicor Power Systems (VPS) design team, which specializes in developing customized power systems using advanced Vicor power modules, embraced the ambitious design goals. The scalable power design of the SeaRAY uses Vicor BCM fixed-ratio bus converter and PRM regulator modules with complex multistage discrete converters to efficiently convert wave energy and provide controlled power.
