Knowledge Hubs
PRIMRE is made up of multiple unique Knowledge Hubs that each contain a distinct type of information and scope related to marine energy. All content is freely available, actively curated by the PRIMRE team, and can be contributed by the marine energy community. Each Knowledge Hub is briefly described and linked below. Visitors may prefer to search within a specific Knowledge Hub or use the PRIMRE aggregate search to explore all the Knowledge Hubs at once. Other online tools, databases, and websites relevant to marine energy can be found on the Tools page.
The Marine Hydrokinetic Data Repository (MHKDR) is the repository for data collected using funds from the Water Power Technologies Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It contains data on MHK devices, testing, resource and environmental impact assessments, cost analyses, and more.
Tethys facilitates the exchange of information and data on the environmental effects of wind and marine renewable energy technologies and serves as a commons for wind and marine renewable energy practitioners and therefore enhance the connectedness of the renewable energy community.
Tethys Engineering stores documents from around the world about the technical and engineering aspects of marine renewable energy. Also includes a high-resolution photo library of marine energy devices.
Provides up-to-date information on marine energy. The database includes wave, tidal, current, and ocean thermal energy, and contains information on the various energy conversion devices, companies active in the field, and development of projects in the water.
Telesto is home to open source Wikis and Databases which provide a comprehensive explanation of and guidance for marine energy testing, measurement, and data processing based on experience, lessons learned from prior laboratory and field testing, industry standards, and best practices.
The Marine Energy Atlas is an interactive mapping tool developed by NREL to explore potential for marine energy resources. Powered by multilab, high-resolution data sets, the atlas maps U.S. wave, tidal, riverine current, ocean current, and ocean thermal resources.
A collection of marine energy relevant software, including the code hub and code catalog. The code hub is a collection of open source marine energy software for simulating devices, and processing and analyzing data. The code catalog is a searchable online software discovery platform with a faceted search to identify software tools, codes and other software products.
