Abstract

This data was compiled for the 'Early Market Opportunity Hot Spot Identification' project. The data and scripts included were used in the 'MHK Energy Site Identification and Ranking Methodology' Reports (see resources below). The Python scripts will generate a set of results--based on the Excel data files--some of which were described in the reports. The scripts depend on the 'score_site' package, and the score site package depends on a number of standard Python libraries (see the score_site install instructions).

ALFA MHK Biological Monitoring Stationary Deployment - South Energy Test Site, Newport, Oregon

Dataset Horne, John

Acoustic backscatter data from a WBAT operating at 70kHz deployed at PMEC-SETS from April to September of 2016. 180 pings were collected at 1Hz every two hours, as part of the Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays (ALFA) for Marine Energy project. Data was subject to preliminary processing (noise removal, a threshold of -75dB was applied, surface turbulence and data below 0.5m from the bottom was removed).
2017 Western Passage Tidal Energy Resource Characterization Measurements

Dataset Kilcher, Levi

These data are from tidal resource characterization measurements collected between April and July 2017 in Western Passage near Eastport, Maine, USA. The dataset contains the following four sub-datasets, each of which is described in more detail in the README.pdf. 1. A bottom-mounted Teledyne RDI Workhorse 600 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was deployed at 44.92015 N, 66.98915 W in ~50 m of water from 3 April to 18 July (106 days). Data were recorded in 6-minute increments in the ENU (East, magnetic North, Up) coordinate system with bin-mapping enabled. 2. A bottom-mounted Nortek Signature 500 kHz ADCP was deployedmore »« less
Tidal Energy Resource Characterization, Bottom Lander Measurements, Cook Inlet, AK, 2021

Dataset Kilcher, Levi ; McVey, James

These datasets are from tidal resource characterization measurements collected on the Terrasond High Energy Oceanographic Mooring (THEOM) from 1 July 2021 to 30 August 2021 (60 days) in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The lander was deployed at 60.7207031 N, 151.4294998 W in ~50 m of water. The dataset contains raw and processed data from the following two instruments: 1. A Nortek Signature 500 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Data were recorded in 4 Hz in the beam coordinate system from all 5 beams. Processed data has been averaged into 5 minutes bins and converted to the East-North-Up (ENU) coordinate system.more »« less
Data for Post-Access Report: Tidal Energy Resource Characterization and Model Validation via the Assessment of Cost-effective Spatially Distributed Current Measurements from microFloat Swarms

Dataset Harrison, Trevor ; Wang, Taiping ; Yang, Zhaoqing

This project evaluated how high-resolution, spatially distributed field data can be used to refine and validate site-scale hydrodynamic simulations of tidal channels. Use of such spatially-distributed field observations or site-scale hydrodynamic simulations will be needed for producing accurate predictions of tidal energy production over larger arrays of tidal turbines. The data contained in this archive includes field observations of water velocity from a series of short surveys in Agate Pass taken on August 20th, 2020 using station-keeping ADCP (acoustic doppler current profiler) measurements, drifting downward-looking ADCPs, and microFloats, gathered by researchers at APL-UW under a previous project.

Tidal Energy Resource Characterization, Velocity and Turbulence Measurements, Processed Data, Cook Inlet, AK, 2021

Dataset McVey, James ; Kilcher, Levi

This submission contains processed datasets from a long-term deployment of 3 moorings and a transect survey of the proposed tidal energy site off the East Forelands in Cook Inlet, AK. The long-term mooring datasets were created from 8 instruments mounted on a Terrasond High Energy Oceanographic Mooring (THEOM) bottom lander and two Mid-Water Mooring (MWM) Stablemoor buoys from 1 July 2021 to 31 August 2021 (60 days). The west-most mooring (MWM1) was deployed at 60.720225 N, 151.436196 W in ~50 m of water. The middle mooring (THEOM) was deployed at 60.720703 N, 151.429500 W in ~52 m of water. Themore »« less
