Power Output Calculations for an Array of Point-absorber Wave Energy Converters

Creator:

García-Castaño, Manuel

Abstract:

This study presents a methodology for power take off (PTO) forecasting for an array of heave wave energy converters (WECs). Based on spectral data obtained directly from the National Data Buoy Center, representative realistic sea states are generated at the location of the WECs, and by using two wave-structure interaction...

Weather and large waves along the Oregon coast: atmospheric controls on a numerical wave model

Creator:

Ellenson, Ashley N.

Abstract:

In this study, the effects of implementing different wind input or physics packages in a numerical wave model to recreate large wave conditions are explored. Three large wave events are simulated with WaveWatch III. The wind inputs which are compared are NCEP's Global Forecasting System (GFS) with 0.5 degree resolution...

Wave Resource Assessments: Spacio-Temporal Effect of Wave Energy Converter Scale and Blue Economy Opportunities

Creator:

Dunkle, Gabrielle R.

Abstract:

Wave energy has the potential to power large and small factions of economies around the world alike. Current methods for determining the amount of wave energy resource available to wave energy converter (WEC) devices entail capturing the look of the sea state at large by presenting characteristic wave heights, periods,...
