Signature Projects are intended to bring focus to a selection of U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) projects. By designating a Signature Project, the project reports, datasets, and associated papers can be easily discoverable. By bringing together all aspects of a project, whether a completed legacy project or an ongoing investigation, the MRE community can be informed of what investigations have been undertaken, which have succeeded, what tools are available, and where gaps in information persist.

WEC-Sim

The WEC-Sim (Wave Energy Converter SIMulator) Signature Project page is now hosted on the Portal and Repository for Information on Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMRE). This page is no longer actively updated. 

This table lists documents associated with the WEC-Sim project, including reports written by the project team and/or papers that have used the project outputs or are closely associated with them. To find additional project outputs, including related papers, datasets, and codes, explore the WEC-Sim page on PRIMRE.
