Resources for MHKDR data submitters and curators, including training videos, step-by-step guides on data submission, and detailed documentation of the MHKDR. The Data Management and Submission Best Practices document also contains API access and metadata schema information for dev...

SolidWorks models of the Modular Ocean Instrumentation System (MOIS) data acquisition system components in it's subsea enclosure. The zip file contains all the components necessary for the assembly.

Useful information and tools for calculating the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and MHK Cost Breakdown Structure. Includes a structure for calculating the capital expenditures and operating costs of a marine energy technology or device, reference resource data for both wave and ...

This shapefile represents seasonal winter average delta T estimates.

ΔT represents the difference in temperature (°C) between the warm and cold water sources used by an OTEC plant at a specific location. Warm water is defined uniformly as water at a depth of 20 m, whi...

AeroDyn is a time-domain wind and MHK turbine aerodynamics module that can be coupled into the FAST version 8 multi-physics engineering tool to enable aero-elastic simulation of horizontal-axis wind turbines. AeroDyn V15.04 has been updated to include a cavitation check for MHK tu...

This shapefile represents annual average net power estimates. The OTEC Plant model predicts the net power production at a specific location, given three inputs: surface temperature (°C), depth (m), and difference between warm surface water temperature and cold deep sea water t...

Demand for abundant and diverse resources in the oceans is growing, necessitating marine spatial planning. To inform development of Marine Hydrokinetic (MHK) and Offshore Wind (OSW) resources, the Department of Energy (DOE) has asked NREL to identify the competing uses areas betwe...

Software developed in LabVIEW for the Modular Ocean Instrumentation System (MOIS) is provided. Two documents: MOIS User's Guide and MOIS Software Developer's Guide are included in the submission.

NREL Modular Ocean Instrumentation System (MOIS) data files for the Azura grid-connected deployment at the 30-meter berth of the US Navy's Wave Energy Test Site (WETS 30m Site) at the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) on the windward (northeast) coast of the island of Oahu, ...

This dataset estimates the naturally available and technically recoverable U.S. wave energy resources, using a 51-month Wavewatch III hindcast database developed especially for this study by National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Centers for Envi...

This submission includes documentation on the Modular Ocean Instrumentation System (MOIS) installation on the Azura 1/2 scale wave energy converter at the Marine Station Kaneohe Bay (MCBH). Data from the deployment will be uploaded over the course of the test. The instrumentatio...

Input data and heave results (unsteady RANS-VOF overset simulations performed in Star-CCM+) for a float with an ellipsoid geometry. Five extreme sea states were considered, as detailed in the conference paper "Application of the Most Likely Extreme Response Method for Wave Energy ...

Time series data, sensor layout, and wave calibration summaries for the wave height measurements for the 10 calibration sea states for the 1:20 scale testing of the Wave Energy Prize (WEP) at the US Navy's Maneuvering and Seakeeping (MASK) Basin at the Naval Surface Warfare Center...

This data was compiled for the 'Early Market Opportunity Hot Spot Identification' project. The data and scripts included were used in the 'MHK Energy Site Identification and Ranking Methodology' Reports (see resources below). The Python scripts will generate a set of results--base...

This point shapefile contains the HYCOM+NCODA point locations used in the report. These grid points contain the annual average attribute values for ocean thermal energy conversion used in the report and analysis. Please see the full report for details on the data (chapter 2) and ...

This shapefile represents estimated plant spacing distances. The estimates shown here were obtained considering the availability of cold water at a particular location based on two criteria, the deep-water velocities from HYCOM and a layer-depth constraint estimated from the gl...

This shapefile represents annual average sea surface temperature recordings. The sea surface temperature is the temperature of the warm water source used by an OTEC plant. This is defined to be near the sea surface at a depth of 20 m, the approximate depth of a warm water intak...

This shapefile represents seasonal summer average sea surface temperature recordings. The sea surface temperature is the temperature of the warm water source used by an OTEC plant. This is defined to be near the sea surface at a depth of 20 m, the approximate depth of a warm wa...
