Modeling the Integration of Marine Energy into Microgrids - Wave Resource Assessment

Description

This submission has wave resource assessments which were conducted for six locations based on IEC requirements using the DOE WPTO Hindcast data and MHKiT. The locations are chosen to provide varying wave climates and include PacWave South, OR; Wave Energy Testing Site (WETS), HI; Molokai, HI; St. Paul, AK; Yakutat, Ak; and Sebastion, FL. It includes the data gathered and the resulting report. This submission also includes a link to Hindcast dataset and some relevant software.

57 Modeled wave data for Yakutat AK from 1980-1990 and1992-2009 compiled from the DOE WPTO wave dataset. The files contain .csv files of wave variables (Hs, Tp, Tz, T0, theta, J, and spectral width) with a sample rate of 3-hour. https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/458/Yakutat_virtual_buoy.zip
21 Released to the public as part of the Department of Energy's Open Energy Data Initiative, this is the highest resolution publicly available long-term wave hindcast dataset that – when complete – will cover the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). https://mhkdr.openei.org/submissions/326
