Title: Bench Testing Data and Report for an Early Prototype Pitch Resonator WEC

Dataset

Abstract

This dataset encompasses data and documentation from bench tests conducted on an early prototype of a "pitch resonator" wave energy converter (WEC). The testing aimed to validate numerical models and reduce risks associated with the pitch resonator concept, which is designed to convert the pitching and rolling motions of a buoy into electrical power. The project's goal is to provide supplementary power, in the range of 10-100 watts, to the National Science Foundation's Ocean Observatories Initiative Pioneer Array. Two distinct testing phases are documented: one using a single degree of freedom (1DOF) test rig, and another employing a six degree of freedom (6DOF) Stewart platform, known as the Large Amplitude Motion Platform (LAMP). These tests assessed various factors, such as system performance in different motion scenarios, the torque exerted by wave forces, and the impact of mounting configurations. The dataset includes raw test data in MATLAB (.mat) format, detailed metadata, and a report describing the experimental procedures and preliminary findings.

Bench testing of an early prototype pitch resonator WEC

Technical Report Coe, Ryan Geoffrey ; Lee, Jantzen Timothy ; Keow, Alicia Li Jen ; ...

This report describes a series of tests performed on a "pitch resonator'" concept for a wave energy converter. The overall testing campaign goals centered on risk reduction for the pitch resonator wave energy converter concept and model validation. Two modes of testing are captured in this report: one using a single degree of freedom test rig and one in which a six degree of freedom Stewart platform was employed.
HERO WEC Belt Test Data

Dataset Jenne, Scott ; Nichols, Casey ; Panzarella, Justin ; ...

The following submission includes raw and processed data from the 2024 Hydraulic and Electric Reverse Osmosis Wave Energy Converter (HERO WEC) belt tests conducted using NREL's Large Amplitude Motion Platform (LAMP). A description of the motion profiles run during testing can be found in the run log document. Data was collected using NREL's Modular Ocean Data AcQuisition (MODAQ) system in the form of TDMS files. Data was then processed using Python and MATLAB and converted to MATLAB workspace, parquet, and csv file formats. During Data processing, a low pass filter was applied to each array and the arrays were thenmore »« less

Advanced WEC Dynamics and Controls, Test 1

Dataset Coe, Ryan

Numerous studies have shown that advanced control of a wave energy converter's (WEC's) power take off (PTO) can provide significant increases (on the order of 200-300%) in WEC energy absorption. Transitioning these control approaches from simplified paper studies to application in full-scale devices remains an open and extremely challenging problem will be central to creating economically competitive WECs and delivering clean renewable energy to the US electrical grid. The Advanced WEC Dynamics and Controls project is targeted on assisting WEC developers to apply novel control systems for their devices and thus achieving major increases in performance and economic viability.
