The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is proposing to deploy one Waverider buoy to collect wave resource measurements off the coast of Buxton, North Carolina. The purpose of the project is to validate high-resolution numerical wave models of the region, and to provide industry with resource information of the site. The project is part of a multi-laboratory project led by NREL in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory.
