Wave Tank Characterization Data

공공데이터포털

This data set was collected from a 16k gallon single paddle type wave tank after adjustments were made to the transfer function in the control software. The file names describe the commanded wave height and period which can then be compared with the actual measured height and period of the generated waves.

Azura WEC 1/15th Wave Tank Test Data

공공데이터포털

Test data from the 1/15th Wave Tank Tests of the Azura performed in 2017/2018 to validate the power performance and survivability of the Azura Design developed by Northwest Energy Innovations (NWEI) planned for deployment at the US Navy's Wave Energy Test Site. Raw and processed data included, along with test plan, test report, and summary data in the content model: "WEC Lab Testing content Model".

Triton Point Absorber 1:30 Scale Tank Test Data for Extreme Wave Environments

공공데이터포털

This content model summarizes laboratory testing data for the Oscilla Power Triton WEC conducted at 1:30 scale. The WEC was tested in large operational waves and in extreme wave conditions along the 1 in 50 year wave contour at the DoE reference location in Humbolt Bay, CA. The WEC was tested in both its operational configuration and its survival configuration. The aims of the dataset are (i) To demonstrate that the survival strategy developed for the Triton WEC improves survivability and reduces loads in extreme wave environments, and (ii) To determine the ultimate design loads for the WEC.

Small Scale WEC Performance Modeling Data

공공데이터포털

Small Scale WEC Performance Modeling Data is performance data from downscaled models of common WEC devices and their calculated performance outputs. This data is used by the Small WEC interactive modeling tool hosted by PRIMRE. The devices include a point absorber, a two-body point absorber (RM3), an oscillating surge device (OSWEC), and an attenuator type device (McCabe Wave Pump). One of the primary use cases for this work is to give an easy way to compare power output for a variety of WECs and model sizes.

NWEI Azura RTI 1/20th Model Validation Wave Tank Test Data

공공데이터포털

Data from the 1/20th wave tank test of the RTI model. Northwest Energy Innovations (NWEI) has licensed intellectual property from RTI, and modified the PTO and retested the 1/20th RTI model that was tested as part of the Wave Energy Prize. The goal of the test was to validate NWEI's simulation models of the model. The test occurred at the University of Maine in Orono (UMO).

CalWave Device Behavior in Different Sea States from Scaled Tank Testing

공공데이터포털

This submission contains a summary of tank test derived WEC device behavior in different irregular sea states. CalWave sought to conduct experimental tank testing of scaled prototype units early on in the design process to obtain a first estimation of device performance for sea states of importance and to perform system identification/PTO tests. These experimental tests primarily aim to assess the wave to structure conversion efficiency and device behavior. Moreover, distinct model parameters of high interest were experimentally tested to validate numerical device modeling and optimization. These tests focused on system identification rather than performance maximization.
