The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is proposing to collect highfidelity tidal resource characterization measurements at a potential tidal energy site in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The purpose of the project is to better define resource characteristics at early market wave and tidal energy sites, and to develop a wave classification scheme.
