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...

Proceedings of the Oregon Marine Renewable Energy Environmental Sciences Conference

Creator:: Boehlert, George W., Braby, Caren, Bull, Ann Scarborough, Helix, Mary Elaine, Henkel, Sarah, Klarin, Paul, and Schroeder, Donna
Abstract:: Development of wave and offshore wind-based marine renewable energy is anticipated on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) off Oregon and much of the Pacific Northwest in the coming decade. Multiple issues related to environmental considerations and information needs remain for these emerging industries. The Oregon Marine Renewable Energy Environmental Science...

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...

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 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...

Real-Time Estimation and Prediction of Wave Excitation Forces for Wave Energy Control Applications

Creator:: Ling, Bradley A.
Abstract:: Wave energy is emerging as a new potential source for renewable energy generation. However, wave energy technology is not currently cost competitive with other more mature renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. One approach that researchers and developers are taking to reduce the cost of wave energy is...

Predicting deep water breaking wave severity

Creator:: Hovland, Justin
Abstract:: Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to WECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is presented and applied to wave data...

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...

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...

Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Creator:: Porter, Aaron K.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...
