Marine Energy Technology SymposiumDallman, AnnNeary, Vincent S.2014-06-302014-06-302014-04http://hdl.handle.net/10919/49191Wave energy resource characterization efforts are critical for developing knowledge of the physical conditions experienced by wave energy converter (WEC) devices and arrays. Developers are lacking a consistent characterization of possible wave energy test sites, and therefore Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has been tasked with developing a catalogue characterizing three high energy U.S. test sites. The initial results and framework for the catalogue are discussed in this paper.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightWave energyRenewable energyMarineHydrokineticsInitial Characterization of the Wave Resource at Several High Energy U.S. SitesConference proceedingDallman, AnnNeary, Vincent S.
