Abstract

The ability to handle data is critical at all stages of marine energy (ME) development. The marine hydrokinetic toolkit (MHKiT) is an open-source marine energy software, which includes modules for ingesting, applying quality control, processing, visualizing, and managing data. MHKiT-Python and MHKiT-MATLAB provide robust and verified functions that are needed by the ME community to standardize data processing. Calculations and visualizations adhere to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) technical specifications and other guidelines. A resource assessment of NDBC buoy 46050 near PACWAVE is performed using MHKiT and discusses comparisons to the resource assessment provided performed by Dunkel et al.

MRS Modelling in OpenFAST

Multi-rotor wind turbines, where more than one rotor is connected to a single support structure, are increasing in popularity due to their balance of power generation with component size, weight, and cost. Multi-rotor turbines are also common in marine energy, where deployment sites tend to be depth-constrained, limiting the maximum size of a rotor. To support the industry and research communities in designing and modeling multi-rotor turbines, the open-source turbine modeling tool OpenFAST, developed and supported by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, is being extended to model multi-rotor wind and marine turbines. This presentation gives an overview of the current state of OpenFAST, planned changes to enable coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic dynamic modeling of multi-rotor turbines, and examples of the types of turbines that OpenFAST will support.

Powering the Blue Economy: Foundational Research and Development

With increased use of the oceans for transportation, extraction of food, fibre, and minerals, recreation and tourism, and other blue economy industries, there is a need for additional power at sea. In the face of climate change, the increased power must come from renewable sources; often marine energy is the most energy-dense power source available. But we have little experience with adapting wave and tidal devices from large scale grid power to the specialized and small devices needed to power blue economy applications, nor the engineering solutions to support codesign of emerging marine industries. As directed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), two DOE national laboratories have developed foundational research and development projects to replace conventional power or batteries at sea (ocean observation platforms), emerging industry power needs (offshore aquaculture operations), as well as examining common challenges for using marine power (efficient power systems, minimizing interference, optimizing materials and manufacturing).
