TEAMER: Heterogeneous Wave Energy Converter Test Data

Description

This dataset was generated during the Heterogeneous Wave Energy Converter (HetWECs) experimental campaign conducted at the O.H. Hinsdale Direction Wave Basin at Oregon State University. Experiments include system identification, hydrodynamics, and power take-off (PTO) tests. The experiments feature 4- and 5-body heterogenous WEC arrays consisting of both oscillating surge WECs and heaving point absorbers. Data was collected using Qualysis motion capture of the device motion, resistive wave gauges to capture wave height data at 20 locations throughout the basin, S-shaped load cells to measure wave excitation force and radiation force, and a Vesc 6 75 to measure motor current, motor RPMs, and FOC current. The submission includes post-processing MATLAB code is to support data handling and figure generation as well as test matrices detailing the sea state conditions for each experimental run.
