HERO WEC V1 Upgrade - 2023 Laboratory Testing (raw data)

This submission is a complimentary submission to MHKDR #520, representing the raw, unprocessed, data that was captured during the 2023 Large Amplitude Motion Platform (LAMP) testing of NREL's Hydraulic and Electric Reverse Osmosis Wave Energy Converter (HERO WEC). This data is in the form of TDMS and Parquet files. (Python file name) translates the TDMS files into a python parquet file, and the LAMP_Data_Processing_Read_Parquet_V4.m/mlx script translates the python data directly into a useable Matlab workspace. The (name here) script is then used to perform calculations to quantify the performance of the HERO WEC and save these values along with all data output by the LAMP_Data_processing_Read_Parquet_V4.m/mlx script to a Matlab workspace.


A more detailed descriptions of the type of data and how it was processed or calculated can be found in the document titled "Lamp Data Description.docx".
