2024年12月12日 · With support from WPTO, researchers from NREL, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories collaborated in producing and disseminating the WPTO Wave Hindcast Dataset. The data contains the highest-resolution time series on wave attributes in U.S. waters.

2025年1月8日 · Found on DOE's OpenEI site, the Marine and Hydrokinetic Data Repository (MHKDR) hosts all MHK-related data generated from research projects and programs funded by DOE's Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO). It is home to more than 1,800 resources and more than 520 GB of data.

The WPTO Wave Hindcast Dataset, which feeds into two NREL water power tools and can be accessed directly online or downloaded, contains the highest-resolution time-series data on wave attributes in U.S. waters.

2022年4月26日 · This year, several of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL's) recent water power successes earned spots in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office’s (WPTO) 2020—2021 Accomplishments Report.

2021年1月14日 · Funded by WPTO, administered by NREL, and supported by ORNL, the Innovations in Advanced Manufacturing for Hydropower (I AM Hydro) Prize challenged competitors to dramatically lower the costs of hydropower components and systems and shrink production timelines by leveraging the power of advanced manufacturing.

2025年1月9日 · NREL researchers develop and host a range of water tools, data, and information to enable state-of-the-art design and analysis in marine energy, integrated water systems, and hydropower research. Check out additional marine energy data access and analysis tools.

View the final report and presentations from the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office 2022 Program Peer Review virtual event spanning from July 18-29, 2022. Volume I contains a brief overview of the Peer Review process, comments from reviewers, and program responses to comments.

NREL has partnered with staff from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and members of the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technology Office (WPTO) to create a non-exhaustive taxonomy of the major products and components of hydropower and pumped storage systems.

Collect and download, as CSV, a configurable set of wave data fields from the DOE-WPTO. This API is capable of creating very large downloadable archives. Unlike a typical API, the response to this provides a request acknowledgement.
