TEAMER - Extreme Events Modeling for the MARMOK-OWC Wave Energy Converter

Dataset de Miguel Para, Borja ; Chartrand, Chris ; Nguyen, Nhu

Through the TEAMER program, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) collaborated with IDOM Incorporated to study their MARMOK-Oscillating Water Column (MARMOK-OWC) wave energy conversion device. The study yielded a quantitative understanding of hydrodynamic pressures on the oscillating water column (OWC) device surfaces, the mooring tensions, and the dynamic performance of the device under extreme ocean wave conditions. This project utilized a comprehensive multi-phase Navier-Stokes flow solver with an overset body-fit mesh to predict fluid velocities and hydrodynamic forces on the MARMOK-OWC device. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis were conducted using OpenFOAM. This data includes the OpenFOAM cases (setup and data) to runmore »« less
TEAMER: Numerical Modeling and Optimization of the iProTech Pitching Inertial Pump (PIP) Wave Energy Converter (WEC)

Dataset Wynn, Nick ; Stricklin, Andrew ; Ogden, David ; ...

This project focused on developing an automated workflow to evaluate and optimize the iProTech Pitching Inertial Pump (PIP) wave energy converter (WEC) using open-source Python packages and the MATLAB/Simulink tool, WEC-Sim. The process involved parameterizing key design variables, running time-domain simulations, and performing sensitivity analyses to determine their impact on power output. The workflow, designed for the PIP device, is generalized and can be extended to optimize other WECs that can be simulated in WEC-Sim. This work establishes a foundation for future time-domain-based WEC design optimizations. Included in this submission are all figures from the final report and the modelmore »« less
Focusing Wave Energy for Wave Energy Converter Applications

Dataset Raftery, Michael

Wave tank tests at Stevens Institute of Technology quantified the ability of near-surface platforms to concentrate wave energy over the platform. Due to the instantaneous change in water depth, mass, energy, and power are conserved in this process. The energy and power concentration factors ranged from 1 to 4 times the incident wave power as a function of incident wave period, wave height, and platform depth. Platform slope was set to zero for all 300 plus wave runs at platform top surface depths varying from 0.15 m to 1.10 m. This data set is extremely valuable to the MHK industrymore »« less
TEAMER: Biofouling Analysis for Wave Energy Piston Design - Load Cell Data

Dataset Robertson, Tyler ; Cavagnaro, Robertson ; Weicht, Linnea

Biofouling and corrosion are a major concern for all ocean-deployed components, especially when mechanical motion is involved. Triton has developed the concept of a biofouling mitigation seal as part of the piston sealing assembly for the Triton Wave Energy Converter (TSI-WEC). This mitigation seal has the purpose of preventing the formation of a biofilm on the inside of the piston cylinder. It is hypothesized that the prevention of a biofilm will reduce the amount of macro-biofouling that can occur in the piston assembly. The mitigation seal can also reduce the wear on the main dynamic seal, helping to maintain smoothmore »« less
