A report on state estimation for advanced control of wave energy converters (WECs), with supporting data models and slides from the overview presentation. The methods discussed are intended for use to enable real-time closed loop control of WECs.

The CFD (computational fluid dynamics) results for the Mass of Water Turbine (MOWT) current energy converter from MWNW Consulting (formerly Ecosse IP). Each case is self-contained in its own tar.gz archive file. The archive contains the scripts required to perform a full simulation using OpenFOAM v1906. The scripts to process the output and plot forces are included in "Plotting Scripts", and all computational meshes generated are included in "Computational Grids". Project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 2 (request for technical support) program.

This is an exercise in optimizing the flow through a shrouded axial turbine to have the least resistance and to have optimal output and torque and energy. In this study, different variations of the original geometry of the current turbine designed by Hydrokinetic Energy Corp. (HEC) were evaluated for energy efficiency using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The objective was accomplished by a parametric study of the key geometric parameters for the shroud, the diffuser, and the hub. Project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 3 (request for technical support) program.

This dataset was developed under TEAMER technical support (CRD-21-17763-0) to model the Aquantis AQ10, a spar buoy-based marine hydrokinetic turbine, using the OpenFAST simulation framework. The project transitioned modeling from the proprietary Tidal Bladed tool to OpenFAST to enable more flexible control strategy development and expanded physics-based capabilities. The dataset includes input files and simulation cases representing key dynamic behaviors such as added mass, wave loading, rotor-to-spar coupling, tower shadow effects, and a custom mooring system. The model supports integration with MATLAB/Simulink for controller implementation. Also included is a post-access report detailing the modeling approach, validation results, and simulation findings from this work. his work was funded by TEAMER RFTS 2 (request for technical support) program.

Contains the Reference Model 1 (RM1) scaled scale geometry files of the Tidal Current Turbine, developed by the Reference Model Project (RMP). These scaled geometry files are saved as SolidWorks assembly, IGS, and STEP files, and require a CAD program to view. The scaled RM1 device was tested at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) at the University of Minnesota flume, details of which are described in the included journal article. The scale of the geometries included in this submission are at a 1:40 scale compared to the full scale geometry. This data was generated upon completion of the project on September 30, 2014. The Reference Model Project (RMP), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), was a partnered effort to develop open-source MHK point designs as reference models (RMs) to benchmark MHK technology performance and costs, and an open-source methodology for design and analysis of MHK technologies, including models for estimating their capital costs, operational costs, and levelized costs of energy. The point designs also served as open-source test articles for university researchers and commercial technology developers. The RMP project team, led by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), included a partnership between DOE, three national laboratories, including the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Applied Research Laboratory of Penn State University, and Re Vision Consulting. Reference Model 1 (RM1) is a dual variable-speed variable-pitch (VSVP) axial-flow tidal turbine device, designed for the Tacoma Narrows tidal current energy resource site in Puget Sound, Washington. RM1 comprises a monopile foundation and a crossarm assembly to mount the two rotors. The cross-arm assembly is nearly neutrally buoyant so the attached rotors can be recovered and redeployed with a minimal amount of lifting crane capacity; therefore, the design minimizes the handling requirements during deployment and recovery, which reduces overall cost in all O&M activities including access to the power conversion chain (PCC).

Performance data of a 1-meter diameter cross-flow tidal turbine consisting of three NACA 0018 blades with two support struts with high deflection hydrofoils. Data was collected at the University of New Hampshire Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Lab within the tow tank. Three turbine parameters were varied: the blade materials, blade shape, and support strut position. A detailed description of the testing set-up and data files contained within the compressed "Turbine_Performance_Data.zip" file is in the "ReadMe.txt" file. Review of the original dataset "_Ver1" found that one of the tests had issues with one of the two redundant sensors. Resources were updated by replacing the dataset with measurements from the redundant sensor and are provided as version 2 "_Ver2".

The compressed (.zip) file contains Datawell MK-III Directional Waverider binary and unpacked data files as well as a description of the data and manuals for the instrumentation. The data files are contained in the two directories within the zip file, "Apr_July_2012" and "Jun_Sept_2013". Time series and summary data were recorded in the buoy to binary files with extensions '.RDT' and '.SDT', respectively. These are located in the subdirectories 'Data_Raw' in each of the top-level deployment directories. '.RDT' files contain 3 days of time series (at 1.28 Hz) in 30 minute "bursts". Each '.SDT' file contains summary statistics for the month indicated computed at half-hour intervals for each burst. Each deployment directory also contains a description (in 'File.list') of the Datawell binary data files, and a figure ('Hs_vs_yearday') showing the significant wave height associated with each .RDT file (decoded from the filename). The corresponding unpacked Matlab .mat files are contained in the subdirectories 'Data_Mat'. These files have the extension '.mat' but use the root filename of the source .RDT and .SDT files.
