reV Marine Energy
This example leverages the new SAM marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy models, the NREL hindcast wave data, the MHK cost models in NRWAL, and the integration of everything in to reV for large scale spatiotemporal analysis. The configs in this example run a batched project that estimates the spatiotemporal capacity factors and costs associated with three common wave energy reference models in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
