Abstract
This is the first joint reference paper for the Ocean
Energy Systems (OES) Task 10 Wave Energy Converter modeling
verification and validation group. The group is established
under the OES Energy Technology Network program under the
International Energy Agency. OES was founded in 2001 and
Task 10 was proposed by Bob Thresher (National Renewable
Energy Laboratory) in 2015 and approved by the OES Executive
Committee EXCO in 2016. The kickoff workshop took place in
September 2016, wherein the initial baseline task was defined.
Experience from similar offshore wind validation/verification
projects (OC3-OC5 conducted within the International Energy
Agency Wind Task 30) [1], [2] showed that a simple test
case would help the initial cooperation to present results in
a comparable way. A heaving sphere was chosen as the first
test case. The team of project participants simulated different
numerical experiments, such as heave decay tests and regular
and irregular wave cases. The simulation results are presented
and discussed in this paper.
