Acoustic Pilot surface survey at the South Energy Test Center at Newport (Oregon). Data collected with a SIMRAD EK-60 echosounder using four frequencies (38, 70, 120 and 200 kHz).

This document describes the experiments carried out in December 2019 and February-March 2020 in the Directional Wave Basin at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory, Oregon State University. Regular and irregular waves were generated in the absence and presence of a WEC, inclu...

Density values from active acoustic measurements at South Energy Test Site. This data correspond to a bottom mounted upward-looking WBAT, deployed from April 19th to September 30th. Samples (175 pings) were collected hourly at 1Hz.

This submission includes the wave tank testing data used to validate the controls optimization efforts of a heaving 1-DoF buoy.

From 2010 to 2015, box core grabs were collected at permanent stations around the Pacific Marine Energy Center North Energy Test Site (PMEC-NETS) off Newport, Oregon. At each box core station a conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) cast was conducted. These data include the CTD f...

In 2008, the US Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Water Power Program issued a funding opportunity announcement to establish university-led National Marine Renewable Energy Centers. Oregon State University and the University of Washington combined their capabilities in wave and ...

Acoustic backscatter data from a WBAT operating at 70kHz deployed at PMEC-SETS from April to September of 2016. 180 pings were collected at 1Hz every two hours, as part of the Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays (ALFA) for Marine Energy project. Data was subject to preliminary pr...

This report outlines marine field demonstrations for manipulation tasks with a semi-Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (sAUV). The vehicle is built off a Seabotix vLBV300 platform with custom software interfacing it with the Robot Operating System (ROS). The vehicle utilizes an inertia...

This data set presents results testing the station keeping abilities of a tethered Seabotix vLBV300 underwater vehicle equipped with an inertial navigation system. These results are from an offshore deployment on April 20, 2016 off the coast of Newport, OR (44.678 degrees N, 124.1...

This document presents results from tests to demonstrate underwater mapping capabilities of an underwater vehicle in conditions typically found in marine renewable energy arrays. These tests were performed with a tethered Seabotix vLBV300 underwater vehicle. The vehicle is equippe...

Model hindcast and Surface Wave Instrument Float With Tracking (SWIFT) buoy observations during extreme conditions offshore of Newport, OR

Load cell data of Ocean Sentinel (OS) mooring, OS locations data and environmental conditions data (wave, wind, current) measured in the 2013 field test.

The core objectives of this project is to improve the power capture of three different wave energy conversion (WEC) devices by more than 50% using an advanced control system and validate the attained improvements using wave tank and full scale testing. In parallel, we will bring a...

TRIAXYS data from the NNMREC-SETS, for Nov. 2014 Jan. 2015, and May 2015 Dec. 2015. The data consists of: Date, Time, significant wave height (1 hour average), significant wave period (1 hour average).

This report summarizes the design and execution of a wave tank test of the floating oscillating surge wave energy converter (FOSWEC) in the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory Directional Wave Basin at Oregon State University. This device, which uses two "flaps" that pivot abou...

Full data set (six deployments) from the Surface Wave Instrument Float With Tracking (SWIFT) buoy deployments at the Newport South Energy Test Site during extreme wave events.

From July 29 through October 4, 2013 a TRIAXYS wave buoy was deployed in the Pacific Marine Energy Center North Energy Test Site. This submission includes all the preprocessed data extracted from the binary TRIAXYS recordings, as well as scripts to parse the data into MATLAB.

In order to generate a public data set that can be used to validate Wave Energy Converter (WEC) numerical codes, such as WEC-Sim, Sandia National Laboratories led an experimental testing campaign of a 1:33 scale Floating Oscillating Surge Wave Energy Converter (FOSWEC) in the Dire...
