NNMREC Accomplishments and Impacts 2009-2013

Creator:: Batten, Belinda and Polagye, Brian L.
Abstract:: In 2008, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Wind and Water Power Program issued a funding opportunity announcement to establish university-‐led National Marine Renewable Energy Centers. Oregon State University and the University of Washington combined their capabilities in wave and tidal energy to establish the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy...

Assessing and Addressing Information Needs of Stakeholders Involved in Wave Energy Development and Marine Spatial Planning

Creator:: Sherman, Kate, Henkel, Sarah, and Webster, Janet
Abstract:: This project examined the information needs of those interested in the planning for marine renewable energy in Oregon. The objective was to recommend to Oregon State University’s Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) an approach to facilitating sharing of relevant information concerning marine renewable energy in Oregon and Washington....

Baseline Characterization and Monitoring of the OSU Mobile Ocean Test Berth Site: Benthic Habitat Characteristics and Organisms on the Central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Henkel, Sarah and Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center
Abstract:: This project was carried out collaboratively by Oregon State University (OSU) scientists and involved participation by Oregon Department of Fisheries and Wildlife and NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center scientists. The goal of this project was baseline characterization via observations and sample collection of the habitat and biological assemblages present at...

Evaluating the population genetic structure of Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) off the Oregon coast

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen and Roegner, Curtis
Abstract:: Despite the high economic and social value of Dungeness crab, no stock assessment work has been conducted on coastal Dungeness crab populations in Oregon. The fishery is currently managed based on a sex, size, and season strategy (e.g. males of a minimum size fished during specified months). It is estimated...

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...

Is wave energy comparatively sustainable in Oregon?

Creator:: Yin, Yao
Abstract:: This essay provides a snapshot of sustainability and acceptability of wave energy and eight other electricity-generating energy sources in Oregon. Since “sustainability” is an important point of view in decision-making, the paper is centered around the concept. Although there is no consensus on the definition of sustainability in the academic...

Finding and Optimal Placement Depth for a Tidal In-Stream Energy Conversion Device in an Energetic, Baroclinic Tidal Channel

Creator:: Kawase, Mitsuhiro, Beba, Patricia, and Fabien, Brian C.
Abstract:: Hypothetical power dissipation by a tidal in‐stream energy conversion device was calculated for Admiralty Inlet, Washington, a highly energetic entrance channel to Puget Sound and currently a candidate for tidal energy development. Power dissipation was calculated for a device of a given capacity as a function of hub height above...

2012 Annual Operations & Monitoring Report: North Energy Test Site

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...

Reference Model #1 - Tidal Energy: Resource

Creator:: Polagye, Brian L.
Abstract:: Reference Model #1 is a tidal turbine operating in a narrow, tidal channel. The site is a generalized version of Tacoma Narrows, Puget Sound, Washington. The resource is a mixed, mainly semidiurnal tidal regime with two ebbs and floods each day of unequal strength (i.e., a diurnal inequality in which...

Marine bird colony and at-sea distributions along the Oregon coast: Implications for marine spatial planning and information gap analysis

Creator:: Suryan, Robert M., Phillips, Elizabeth M., So, Khemarith, Zamon, Jeannette E., Lowe, Roy W., and Stephensen, Shawn W.
Abstract:: Increasingly diverse interests in commercial and recreational use of marine resources are creating new challenges for coastal ocean management. One concern of increased offshore use and development off the Oregon coast is the potential impact on marine bird populations. We summarized the primary surveys of seabird breeding colonies and at-sea...
