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...

Créateur:: 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...

Créateur:: 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...

Créateur:: 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...

Créateur:: 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...

Créateur:: 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...

Créateur:: Garcia, Gabriel, Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: This presentation was given as part of Oregon State University's College of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sciences graduate student seminar series. It describes the basics of wave forecasting and then focuses on work implementing a wave forecasting system for the Oregon and Southwestern Washington Coast.

Créateur:: 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....

Créateur:: Challa, Ravi, Yim, Solomon C., Idichandy, V. G., and Vendhan, C. P.
Abstract:: A numerical study on the dynamic response of a generic rigid water-landing object (WLO) during water impact is presented in this paper. The effect of this impact is often prominent in the design phase of the re-entry project to determine the maximum force for material strength determination to ensure structural...
