  1. Wave Energy Resource Assessment & Multibeam Sonar Training Internship Recap Tim Tschetter – AHERC Intern August 2014 Alaska Center for Energy and Power

  2. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment • Diesel generators supply 100% of electricity • Average cost of electricity is $0.60/kWh

  3. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment • Resolute Marine Energy holds a FERC permit for Yakutat • Shown here is a prototype of their wave energy converter • This technology is pre-commercial http://www.kcaw.org/2014/03/09/yakutat-prepares-to-try-out-wave-generated-power/

  4. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment • Phase 1) ADCP Wave Data Acquisition http://www.rdinstruments.com/waves.aspx

  5. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment H sig (m)

  6. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment • Phase 2) • Wave modeling with • Waves change height and direction due to changes in water depth • Modeling waves to find optimum placement of the wave energy converters to: • Maximize energy recovery • Minimize risk of damage to converters

  7. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment Purple = Extent of NOAA’s existing bathymetric surveys (outside Yakutat Bay) White box = Approximate extent of Resolute Marine’s FERC permit

  8. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment • Preliminary 1D results • Using linear bottom slope • ADCP data is used for offshore boundary condition

  9. Multibeam Training • During spring of 2013, AHERC acquired a ResonSeabatMultibeamSonar http://www.gserentals.co.uk/details.aspx?product=180
