Marine and Hydrokinetic Technology Development Risk Management Framework
The purpose of this risk management framework is to increase the likelihood of successful development of a marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) technology by addressing negative and positive uncertainties. This framework emphasizes design and risk reviews as formal gates to ensure risks are managed throughout the technology development cycle.
Extreme Conditions Modeling Workshop Report
Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) hosted the Wave Energy Converter (WEC) Extreme Conditions Modeling (ECM) Workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico on May 13–14, 2014. The objective of the workshop was to review the current state of knowledge on how to numerically and experimentally model WECs in extreme conditions (e.g. large ocean storms) and to suggest how national laboratory resources could be used to improve ECM methods for the benefit of the wave energy industry. More than 30 U.S. and European WEC experts from industry, academia, and national research institutes attended the workshop, which consisted of presentations from W EC developers, invited keynote presentations from subject matter experts, breakout sessions, and a final plenary session .
