HERO WEC V1 Upgrade - 2023 Laboratory Testing (Raw Data)

DOI 10.15473/2506149

Publicly accessible License

This submission contains the original, unprocessed data from the 2023 Large Amplitude Motion Platform (LAMP) testing of NREL's Hydraulic and Electric Reverse Osmosis Wave Energy Converter (HERO WEC). This data serves as a companion to MHKDR #520.
Data was collected using NREL's Modular Ocean Data AcQuisition (MODAQ) system in TDMS format. Specifications of TDMS files can be found on the NI website.

The TDMS files have been separated into zip files corresponding to either Drivetrain, Hydraulic, or Electric configuration runs representing the respective test cases that were run. The drivetrain runs were used to characterize the drivetrain only (no pump or generator). The Hydraulic runs represent the configuration when the seawater pump is installed, and the Electric runs represents the configuration when the generator is installed. The following sub-categories of data are included for each type:
- DW - Deep water (monochromatic sine wave) profile (not run in drivetrain configuration)
- Heave - Heave only (monochromatic sine wave) profile
- Heave_NoRO (hydraulic configuration only)
- Heave_ACC (hydraulic configuration only)
- IR - Surge and heave irregular wave profile (not run in drivetrain configuration)
- RW - Heave only profile created from real world encoder data (not run in drivetrain configuration)

Reference documents:
- "HERO WEC Lamp Test Run Log.xlsx": contains specifications for each test run
- "Lamp Data Description.docx": provides detailed information about data types and processing methods

For those interested in the processed data the authors have created a separate submission, MHKDR #520, linked below.
