Wave field patterns generated by wave energy converters

Creator:: McNatt, J. Cameron
Abstract:: The eventual deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) on a commercial scale will necessitate the grouping of devices into arrays or "wave farms," in order to minimize overhead costs of mooring, maintenance, installation, and electrical cabling for shoreward power delivery. Closely spaced WECs will interact hydrodynamically through diffracted and radiated...

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...

A Conceptual Design Tool for High-performance Wave Energy Converters for Blue Economy Applications

Creator:: Roach, Aeron L.
Abstract:: Much like wind energy in its early years, marine energy has vast potential, and wave energy converter (WEC) concepts are constantly in development. Consequently, wave energy faces many challenges for expansion and has a wide-ranging design space of WEC concepts. The large design space demands new methods for understanding the...

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,...

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...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

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...

A remotely operated, autonomous wave energy converter system

Creator:: Lewis, Timothy M.
Abstract:: The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...

Modeling, simulation, and analysis of two hydraulic power take-off systems for wave energy conversion

Creator:: Casey, Sean (Sean Michael)
Abstract:: Hydraulic power take-off (PTO) systems have been implemented in several wave energy converter (WEC) designs in recent years. Two popular hydraulic PTO configurations coupled to a point absorber hydrodynamic model are simulated in waves representative of an energetic sea state likely to be found in deep waters off the coast...
