National Marine Renewable Energy Center Upgrades - LUPA

The data provided is part of a power take off damping optimization study. The power take off damping coefficient was swept from 0 to approximately 7000 N/m/s during a single regular wave test with a real time control of the motor/generator. The generated power from the LUPA (Lab Upgrade Point Absorber) wave energy converter is reported by the motor drive in watts. The csv files in this submission are the corresponding raw time series outputs for each mode of operation of LUPA (one body heave only, two body heave only, and two body six degrees of freedom). Data comes from testing in the Large WaveFlume (LWF) at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory in Corvallis, OR.
