Sandia Energy > Programs > Renewable Energy > Water Power > Research Capabilities > Simulation & Analysis Sandia National Laboratories’ Water Power Technologies program develops innovative technological solutions for marine hydrokinetic (MHK) devices. Before MHK technologies can successfully compete in the energy and applications market, industry developers are working to increase device power performance and reliability. These efforts will lead to reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) in many devices. Through applied research and modeling efforts, we provide industry with tools to create better devices.
