HERO WEC V1 Upgrades - SolidWorks Models (WEC, RO System, and Submersible Pump Housing)
공공데이터포털
The attached zip files include SolidWorks pack-and-go assemblies of NREL's HERO WEC (hydraulic and electric reverse osmosis wave energy converter), the reverse osmosis (RO) assembly, and the submersible pump assembly that is used to provide flow to the RO assembly in the electric configuration. These 3 models were upgraded in 2023 from their baseline models. The HERO WEC model does not include all aspects of the design (i.e. RO system, electrical enclosure, hose, cable), it only includes the WEC and PTO (power take-off) design. This model supersedes the old MHKDR model submission, linked below. The RO model file includes a SolidWorks (version 2023) pack-and-go assembly of the RO assembly that was used for HERO WEC as it was upgraded in 2023. This model ONLY includes the RO assembly and not the WEC, hoses, etc. The submersible pump enclosure model includes a SolidWorks (version 2023) pack-and-go assembly of the submersible pump assembly that is used to provide flow to the RO assembly in the electric configuration HERO WECas it was upgraded in 2023. This model ONLY includes the submersible pump assembly and not the WEC, RO system, hoses, etc. This work has been developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, operated by Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under Contract No. DE-AC36-08GO28308.

HERO WEC - Bills of Materials: WEC, RO System, and Submersible Pump
공공데이터포털
This submission includes detailed Bills of Materials for the NREL-designed and -built Hydraulic and Electric Reverse Osmosis Wave Energy Converter (HERO WEC), as well as the reverse osmosis assembly and submersible pump that are used in the HERO WEC. The WEC file is specific to the components and sub-components that are included on the in-water buoy portion of the WEC. The RO file is specific to the components and sub-components that are included on the reverse osmosis module that is used for both the hydraulic and electric configuration. The submersible pumps file is specific to the components and sub-components that are included on the submersible pump module that is used feed the reverse osmosis module when the HERO WEC is in the electric configuration. In addition to this submission, an additional submission available for the WEC model itself, including the power electronics enclosure, and reverse osmosis assembly that is needed to supply water in the electric submission. A link is provided below. More details on this project including data, CAD drawings, etc. can be found in the HERO-WEC main page link below.

TEAMER: AquaHarmonics High Fidelity WEC Sim PTO and Control Model Validation, Sim Model
공공데이터포털
Collaborative effort between AquaHarmonics, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to revise and validate Aquaharmonics' full wave to wire model, allowing for reduced uncertainty and increased understanding of design requirements of a utility scale wave energy converter (WEC). SNL and NREL in collaboration with AquaHarmonics, will set up and run WEC Simulator (WEC-Sim) models of the AquaHarmonics WEC, building off past model developments for inclusion of custom PTO (power take-off) dynamics. The intent is to review, update, and verify or validate a new WEC-Sim model against wave tank experimental data. Furthermore, the WEC-Sim model will be coupled to an energy storage system model to better understand the wave-to-wire functionality. Project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 2 (request for technical support) system of WEC research projects. Testing data can be found in the associated MHKDR link below.
TEAMER: Laboratory Upgrade Point Absorber v2 CAD Model and Bill of Materials
공공데이터포털
The Laboratory Upgrade Point Absorber (LUPA) is an open-source wave energy converter designed and tested by Oregon State University. The computer-aided design (CAD) files are provided here in two forms: the original SOLIDWORKS (2024) model as "LUPA SOLIDWORKS.zip" and as a STEP file "LUPA-A1000.step". The bill of materials is provided as an Excel file with assemblies (LUPA-Axxx), part numbers (LUPA-Axxx-Pyyy), part descriptions, manufacturers, and manufacturer part numbers. An engineering drawing is provided as a PDF of the basic float and spar geometries and mass properties. This comprehensive CAD model represents LUPA as it was deployed in Fall 2023 testing (project name: TEAMERLUPA2) at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The mass properties, including mass, center of gravity, and moments of inertia, have been overridden for some parts and assemblies to match the physical device properties as determined from experiments. This appears as "overridden by user" when viewing mass properties in SOLIDWORKS. The LUPA-A1000.SLDASM file from the LUPA SOLIDWORKS.zip folder is the topmost assembly; open this file to see the entire model as one assembly. This model is the second published CAD model of LUPA. The first is linked below as Version 1. This second model has the following engineering changes: moved spar flotation up, added more mass to the heave plate, added the MiniDAQ to the float, and reduced the weight of the PTO pulleys. The net effect of these changes makes LUPA more hydrodynamically stable than the first version. See "PMEC Page" and the "Signature Project Page" resources below for more information on LUPA. This testing was funded by TEAMER RTFS 7. Data from this testing can be found on MHKDR at the links below.
Co-Design of Marine Energy Converters for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Docking and Recharging - Year 3 Software and Data
공공데이터포털
This dataset contains software, sensor data, and experimental recordings generated during Year 3 of a DOE-funded project focused on the co-design of marine energy converters and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) docking and recharging systems. Data were collected during experimental testing at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory and support foundational research aimed at advancing coupled Wave Energy Converter (WEC)-AUV systems for marine energy applications. The dataset includes pressure sensor recordings collected on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) under varying wave conditions; vehicle data recorded during autonomous docking operations; and video footage from tests demonstrating AUV docking procedures. Also included is software hosted in a linked GitHub repository, which provides installation instructions, supporting code for BlueROV2 operation, and relevant dependencies for data handling and system control. This release builds on data provided in a previous submission from earlier phases of the project, linked below.
