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

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

4. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment 3  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/

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

6. Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment 5 H sig (m)

7. ► Phase 2) Wave modeling with Yakutat Wave Energy Assessment 6  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

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

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

10. ► During spring of 2013, AHERC acquired a Reson Seabat Multibeam Sonar Multibeam Training 9 http://www.gserentals.co.uk/details.aspx?product=180
