TEAMER: Stage 2 Resource Assessment Study of Long Island Sound Tidal Resource in New York State Waters Based on Numerical Modeling - Immediate Release
This dataset comprises high-resolution Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) hydrodynamic model output for a portion of eastern Long Island Sound (LIS) developed under a project with Verdant Power, with technical assistance from PNNL. The project applied a high fidelity numerical modeling framework consistent with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) TS 62600 201 guidelines for a Stage 2 tidal stream energy resource assessment over a site of interest to Verdant: i.e., the "Project Area". Four potential tidal energy converter (TEC) array configurations were simulated in the Project Area with PNNL's FVCOM-TEC module, as well as a baseline simulation with no TECs.
The dataset includes depth averaged east-west (u) and north-south (v) current velocities, corresponding power densities, and water levels in the Project Area over a 30-day period for the baseline simulation. Additionally, a link is provided to the 5-year release dataset including 3D east-west (u) and north-south (v) current components, 3D turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), and water levels in the Project Area over a 30-day period for the baseline simulation and the four TEC simulations.
This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 13 (request for technical support) program.
