Abstract

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.

Additional Degree of Freedom for WEC Model

Dataset McCall, Alan ; Haider, Ali ; Brekken, Ted

'Additional Degree of Freedom for WEC' - WEC-Sim numerical model from RFTS 1 TEAMER project. An increase in wave energy converter (WEC) efficiency requires not only consideration of the nonlinear effects in the WEC dynamics and the power take-off (PTO) mechanisms, but also more integrated treatment of the whole system, i.e., the buoy dynamics, the PTO system, and the control strategy. It results in an optimization formulation that has a nonquadratic and nonstandard cost functional. This model presents the application of real-time nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) to two degrees of freedom point absorber type WEC with highly nonlinear PTOmore »« less
HERO WEC V1.0 - SolidWorks Model

Dataset Jenne, Scott

The attached zip file includes a SolidWorks pack-and-go assembly of NREL's HERO WEC (hydraulic and electric reverse osmosis wave energy converter) V1.0. This model does not include all aspects of the design (i.e. RO (reverse osmosis) system, electrical enclosure, hose, cable) it only includes the WEC and PTO (power take-off) design.
