Wave Energy Converter Archetypes and Power Performance Representation

Creator:: May-Varas, Nicholas and Robertson, Bryson
Abstract:: There is a continuing and increasing need to develop renewable energy technologies that are efficient, cost-effective and produce usable forms of energy. Wave energy converters (WECs) have an opportunity to play a key and significant role in the integration of renewable energy technologies on a commercial scale. It is estimated...

The Wavemeter : a land-based system for measuring nearshore ocean waves

Creator:: Zopf, D. O., Creech, H. C., and Quinn, W. H.
Abstract:: This paper describes a method for measuring nearshore ocean wave characteristics with a land-based, long-period vertical seismometer. The wavemeter system has proven to be highly reliable and produces continuous wave observations at low cost. It is now operational at six Coast Guard stations along the Oregon and Washington coasts; data...

Maritime Markets at PacWave Workshop Report

Creator:: Robertson, Bryson and Freeberg, Andrew
Abstract:: On July 9th, the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC) and PacWave hosted national and international experts from government, academia and industry, and across maritime sectors, to explore future research and testing opportunities associated with the development of the PacWave testing facilities. This report summarizes the findings from the strategic break-out...

Industry Feedback : Opportunities for Autonomous Monitoring and Intervention in Marine Renewable Energy Arrays

Creator:: Lawrance, Nicholas and Hollinger, Geoffrey A.
Abstract:: Underwater monitoring and manipulation with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are active avenues of research in the Field Robotics Community. The purpose of this document is to briefly summarize some of the more promising research applications as well as provide information from four companies working in the area of marine renewable...

Socioeconomic Impacts of Wave Energy Knowledge and Service Providers to Oregon : Research Summary Report

Creator:: Garrett, John, Thompson, Paul, and Conway, Flaxen D. L.
Abstract:: Wave energy research and development has been ongoing in Oregon for at least two decades. Substantial interest started in the early 2000’s, flattened in the 2010’s, and is on the rise again. The Oregon wave energy sector recently experienced several sizable developments in 2020 and 2021, making this a critical...

PacWave Wave Resource Assessment

Creator:: Dunkle, Gabrielle, Robertson, Bryson, Garcia-Medina, Gabriel, and Yang, Zhaoqing
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest of the United States is characterized by one of the greatest annual mean wave power resources in the world. As a result, the wave energy resource offshore of Oregon has been characterized, through hindcast models and physical buoy data, throughout the past decade. Over the past 8...

West Coast Perceptions of Wave Energy : a Survey of California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia Residents

Creator:: Boudet, Hilary
Abstract:: North America’s West Coast represents some of the highest global potentials for wave energy output. We developed and conducted a survey of a sample of residents (N=2000) in California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia matched on gender, age, race, and education to the general population. Respondents were asked how much...

Tidal Energy Extraction in an Idealized Ocean-Fjord Tidal Model with Astronomical Forcing

Creator:: Kawase, Mitsuhiro and Gedney, Marisa
Abstract:: Abstract— A highly idealized model of an ocean-fjord system, in which the tide is forced astronomically by the gravitational force of the moon, is used to study effects of localized tidal energy extraction on regional and global tides. The modeled system is energetically complete in the sense that the model...

Microstructure profiles during CEAREX

Creator:: Padman, Laurie and Dillon, T. M. (Thomas M.)
Abstract:: The Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX) was a multi-platform geophysical study covering the period from winter 1988 to spring 1989 in the vicinity of the Yermak Plateau and Fram Strait. The Oceanography ("0") Camp component of CEAREX was designed to study the physical oceanographic conditions from the deep Nansen Basin...
