Hi Paul/SAM

Are there any plans to add models for Wave and Tidal Power in the future?

Kind regards

Hi Angus,

Not for now. Those are not large research areas for NREL, so I'm not sure how work on such models would be funded. Also, I'm not sure how much data is available to characterize the technologies and develop performance models.

Best regards,
Paul.

Thanks. It was a loaded question. I'm presenting our SAM simulation along with somebody presenting on a wave power prototype in Perth so just wanted to be prepared. I agree getting swell/wave data isn't going to be easy

Kind regards

Angus
