Title: OES Task 10 WEC Heaving Sphere Performance Modelling Verification

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1518582

OES Task 10 Modelling, Verification and Validation of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) is a task under the IEA Technology Collaboration Program for Ocean Energy Systems (OES). The long-term goals are to assess the accuracy of, and establish confidence in, the use of numerical WEC models. to determine a range of validity of existing computational modelling tools, to identify uncertainty related to simulation methodologies and finally to define future research. To some extent, this project builds on the experience from a similar effort carried out to verify modelling of wind turbines as part of the IEA Wind Task 30 on wind OC3-OC5.
