Co-Design of Marine Energy Converters for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Docking and Recharging - Year 4 - Software and Data

Published by Oregon State University | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:04 AM | Dataset Last Updated: May 22, 2026 at 09:02 PM
This dataset contains software, sensor data, and experimental recordings generated during Year 4 of a DOE-funded project focused on the co-design of marine energy converters and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) docking and recharging systems. The data were collected during experimental testing at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory and support foundational research aimed at advancing coupled Wave Energy Converter (WEC)-AUV systems for marine energy applications. The dataset includes (1) a numerical model of a WEC-AUV dock system with hydrodynamic analysis and control, (2) wave flume testing data of wave elevation, dock displacement, pressure sensor, and load cell measurements, (3) multimodal sensor recordings collected from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) under varying wave conditions, including localization, depth, sonar, and IMU data recorded during autonomous docking operations, as well as video footage demonstrating AUV docking procedures. It also includes software hosted in a linked GitHub repository that provides installation instructions, supporting code for BlueROV2 operation, and relevant dependencies for data handling and system control. This release builds upon datasets provided in earlier phases of the project, which are linked below.
