    • Techno-Economic Analysis of AquaHarmonics Wave Energy Converter Using SAM: Baseline and Optimized LCOE Estimates

    Metadata Updated: July 24, 2025

    This dataset presents techno-economic modeling results for the AquaHarmonics Wave Energy Converter (WEC), analyzing both baseline and optimized system configurations using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's System Advisor Model (SAM). The models incorporate empirical performance data and simulate deployment at the PacWave South test site off the coast of Newport, Oregon.

    Included are SAM-generated reports and a project file detailing device and array specifications, energy production estimates, capital and operational costs, and resulting Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) calculations. The data provides comparative insights into design improvements and their impact on system performance and cost. SAM software is required to view and interact with the project file, and can be downloaded via the attached link.
