TEAMER: Twin Ocean Power Wave Energy Converter Comprehensive Overview

Published by Twin Ocean Power | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-01-27T05:47:29Z
These files collectively provide a comprehensive overview of the testing process, data analysis, and validation for the Twin Ocean Power device tested at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory, supported by TEAMER funding. This resource includes an overview of power results for a series of 7 trials. The files included in this comprehensive overview include a comprehensive log sheet for each trial, a summary of all trials, and processing scripts for the raw data. It includes all raw data in .tsv and MATLAB compatible formats, an average power chart, angular velocity charts for each trial, trial metrics, and power output files. This resource includes images of the Twin Ocean Power Wave Energy Converter device components and movement during testing and video recordings of each trial.
