Abstract

Computational fluid simulations for wave energy converters and supporting materials from Ocean Energy's WEC Buoy TEAMER project in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories. Each file includes images and video of simulation along with the simulation files for the case. The videos and images include air and water simulations of the buoy in 2D and 3D views. Data spreadsheets of the simulation outputs are also included in the files. The data are represented as different cases in which the wave height(Hs) and peak period(Tp) were different.

TEAMER - AquaHarmonics High Fidelity WEC Sim PTO and Control Model Validation, Test Logs and Results

Dataset Hagmuller, Alex ; Tom, Nathan ; Leon, Jorge

Collaborative effort between AquaHarmonics, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to revise and validate Aquaharmonics' full wave to wire model, allowing for reduced uncertainty and increased understanding of design requirements of a utility scale wave energy converter (WEC). SNL and NREL in collaboration with AquaHarmonics, will set up and run WEC Simulator (WEC-Sim) models of the AquaHarmonics WEC, building off past model developments for inclusion of custom PTO (power take-off) dynamics. The intent is to review, update, and verify or validate a new WEC-Sim model against wave tank experimental data. Furthermore, the WEC-Sim model willmore »« less

TEAMER: Sandia and CalWave Torque Spring Assessment

Dataset Boerner, Thomas ; Gunawan, Budi ; Kojimoto, Nigel

Power-take-off (PTO) systems for wave energy converters (WEC) require restoring forces for efficient hydrodynamic as well as mechanical to electric power transfer. Implementation of an effective spring mechanism that can provide a restoring torque on e.g. a rotational, winch type PTO shaft is challenging. SNL in collaboration with CalWave, will use numerical finite element simulations to study application of mechanical torsion springs as a highly efficient restoring force element for CalWave's rotational PTO. Material studies will include common steel as a baseline and potentially advanced materials such as fiber composite materials with different cross-sectional profiles.

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
