  • Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays (ALFA) for Marine Energy Checkpoint 4.1.1

    Creator:
    United States. Department of Energy
    Abstract:
    Soil‐structure interaction has been an area of active research since the 19th century and has evolved significantly over the past 150 years (Kausel, 2010). Previous soil‐structure interaction studies have been based on numerical simulations (e.g., Costantino et al. 1976; Jensen et al. 1999; Jensen, Edil et al. 2001; Jensen, Plesha...

  • Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

    Creator:
    Meek, Moira H.
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

  • Environmental Effects of Tidal Energy Development

    Creator:
    Polagye, Brian, Van Cleve, Brie, Copping, Andrea, and Kirkendall, Keith
    Abstract:
    This report summarizes the outcomes of a March 22-25, 2010, workshop in Seattle, Washington, on the environmental effects of tidal energy development. The workshop focused on building capabilities to evaluate the environmental effects of tidal energy from turbines placed in the water column throughout the United States. However, it did...

  • An Inner-Shelf Wave Forecasting System for the U.S. Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Garcia-Medina, Gabriel, Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, Ruggiero, Peter, and Oskamp, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    An operational inner-shelf wave forecasting system was implemented for the Oregon and southwest Washington coast in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW). High-resolution wave forecasts are useful for navigational planning, identifying wave energy resources, providing information for site-specific coastal flood models, and having an informed recreational beach user group, among other...

    Creator:
    Henkel, Sarah K., Haxel, Joseph H., Schultz, Adam, and Hofford, Anna
    Abstract:
    The first wave energy test at the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center’s (NNMREC) North Energy Test Site (NETS) off the coast of Newport, OR took place in 2012 with the deployment of the WET-NZ wave energy conversion (WEC) device and the Ocean Sentinel instrumentation buoy. The WET-NZ and Ocean...

  • Waves, WEC, and Arrays

    Creator:
    McNatt, Cameron
    Abstract:
    This presentation was given as part of Oregon State University's College of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sciences graduate student seminar series. It is critical to understand waves dynamics in order to design wave energy convertors and then deploy them in arrays. Modelling suggests that array interactions lead to constructive and destructive...

  • Comparison and Validation of Hydrodynamic Theories for Wave Energy Converter Modelling

    Creator:
    Leary, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    A wide variety of hydrodynamic theories are utilized to approximate a Wave Energy Converter’s (WEC) equation of motion. Numerous theories have been refined in order to improve numerical approximations of WEC dynamics. When incorporating refined hydrodynamic theories into numerical models, there are distinct impacts on WEC rigid body motions, cable...

  • Design Optimization of a Structurally Flexible Wave Energy Converter with a Direct Search Algorithm

    Creator:
    Berrier, Austin S.
    Abstract:
    Several wave energy converter designs have been recently proposed that are made of flexible materials. Flexible devices are able to generate electricity by being stretched, and are intended to simplify deployment and maintenance concerns over existing wave energy devices. Due to the relative infancy of flexible wave energy converters, however,...
