Description

OES -- Wave Energy Converters Modelling Verification and Validation

The intention of this task is to assess the codes currently in use globally for analysis of wave energy devices. This effort will focus on assessing the accuracy and validation process of the codes by comparing codes to codes and codes to experiments.

The validation will focus on performance, loads, and related responses for a single devices and arrays of devices operating in defined wave conditions

The objectives are the following:

To assess the accuracy and establish confidence in the use of numerical models.

To validate a ranges of existing computational modeling tools

Identify simulation methodologies leading to:
Reduce risk in technology development
Improved device energy capture estimates (IEC TC 102
Improved loads estimates
Reducing uncertainty in LCOE models

Future research and development needed to improve the computational tools and methods
