Marine energy technology
Open-source software provides essential modeling and simulation help in water power research and development. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) National Wind Technology Center are continuing their work on the Wave Energy Converter SIMulator (WEC-Sim), a free, open-source software modeling tool being jointly...
Seas and oceans are used as a source of fossil fuels, oil and gas, but the exploitation of their potential as a renewable energy sources...
A recent overhaul of the tool makes it a powerful, robust, and flexible modeling software to aid the development of innovative wind and water power technologies. The...
Infragravity period oscillations - waves that occur between 25 and 300 seconds with a wavelength between 100m and 10km - can have an impact on...
Marine energy technologies harness the natural movement or temperature of bodies of water to produce energy, and include wave, tidal, marine current, and ocean thermal...
