Abstract

This dataset includes modeled tidal current velocities, direction and depth at two locations in East and North Forelands (60.716, -151.434 and 61.024, -151.157) near Nikiski and Tyonek, respectively, in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Data from two grid cells were provided by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory based on a tidal hydrodynamic model that characterized the tidal stream resources in Cook Inlet for a period from May 1 to September 1, 2005 (Wang and Yang 2020). The model grid size had a horizontal spatial resolution of 100 m at East Forelands and 200 m at Tyonek; mean sea level (MSL) depth was 47.9 m and 23.7 m at each respective site, and there were 10 depth bins that ranged in size with the tide from 4.3-5.2 m and 1.9-2.8 m, respectively (Wang and Yang 2020).

Tidal Energy Site Characterization East Forelands Alaska

Dataset Kilcher, Levi

During the summer field season in 2012, Benthic GeoScience Inc. (Benthic) mobilized under contract with Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) in order to conduct precise geospatial measurements of the seafloor accomplishing a preliminary Site Characterization Study for the ORPC East Forelands Tidal Energy Power Project. This study included a high-density bathymetric survey, acoustic reflective intensity imagery, and an assessment of the physical character of the ORPC East Forelands Tidal Energy Power Project environment. The Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) survey included a large area surrounding the East Forelands of Cook Inlet in the vicinity of Nikiski, Alaska. Included in this submission aremore »« less
Version 2 - Tidal Energy Resource Characterization, Velocity and Turbulence Measurements, Cook Inlet, AK, 2021

Dataset Kilcher, Levi ; McVey, James

Version 2 of MHKDR submission #475, which also contains the metadata for these measurements. Files here are stored in netCDF4 format, which can be read in Python using the "netcdf4" or "xarray" packages or in MATLAB using the "ncread()" function. Changes are as follows: MWM1 (mid-water mooring 1) ADV - Time length of data now ends when bottom track data is lost - Improved filtering and quality control of bottom track measurements - improved motion correction of velocity - Improved Doppler noise subtraction - improved velocity, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), Reynolds stress, time interval (TI), and dissipation rate estimations MWM1more »« less
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

Tidal Energy Resource Characterization Measurements at Cook Inlet's East Foreland: Velocity and Turbulence

Journal Article McVey, James ; Kilcher, Levi ; Yang, Zhaoqing - Renewable Energy

To characterize tidal current and turbulence at a top tidal energy site off the East Foreland in Cook Inlet, Alaska, United States, three moorings were deployed for two months between July and August 2021, and a transect survey was conducted over the course of two tidal cycles at the end of the deployment period. Measurements of velocity and turbulence were then analyzed to better understand the site's hydrodynamics and power potential. Analysis reveals that swift, north-flowing flood currents peak at 4 m/s, while south-flowing ebb currents reach just over 3 m/s. Turbulence intensity ranges from 23% at the seafloor tomore »« less
