HERO WEC V1.0 - WEC-Sim Detailed Simulation Runs and Summary Data

Data sets from simulation runs include 144 wave cases that were run based on the WEC-Sim model (https://mhkdr.openei.org/submissions/483). The 144 wave cases represent waves with the following wave height and wave period ranges:

- Significant Wave Height: 0.25 - 4.0m in 0.25m increments
- Wave Period: 5 - 13 sec in 1 sec increments

Each run was simulated using a Pierson-Moskowitz irregular wave spectrum with a 200 second ramp time and a total simulation time of 2,200 seconds.

Summary data set includes a spreadsheet and image files with matrices that are associated with data from simulation runs. All matrices cover the same significant wave height and wave periods from the sim runs, in the same increments. The following matrices are included:

- Mechanical Power Input: Absorbed power calculated using linear input velocity at PTO (power take-off) multiplied by winch tension.
- Mechanical Power Output: The hydraulic power calculated at the pump output prior to the pressure relief valve dump.
- Feed Pressure: Average pressure at RO (reverse osmosis) input prior to pre-filters
- RO Power Input: The hydraulic power calculated at the RO system inlet, accounts for flow loss due to pressure relief valve
- Water Production: Average clean water flow at RO output
