H2020 OPERA Project: Mooring System Experimental data from MARMOK-A-5 Wave Energy Converter at BiMEP

Funded under European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme, OPERA project’s main objective is to reduce the time to market of wave energy, by further advancing in 4 key innovations aiming to reduce up to 50% the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) projections of a floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC) technology.

As part of project activities, a condition monitoring system was deployed during the open-sea testing campaign of IDOM's MARMOK-A-5 wave energy converter, while this was deployed in the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) from October 2016 to June 2019.

The dataset herein contains a collection of experimental results obtained during this extensive testing campaign, The campaign covers two deployment periods, where the first testing period includes polyesther tethers and the second testing campaing includes innovative elastomeric tethers as described in more detail in the project documentation. This experimental dataset aims to provide quantitative comparison data of the dynamic behavior of the system under these two different configurations.

本项目获欧盟地平线2020（Horizon 2020）计划资助，OPERA项目的首要目标是缩短波浪能技术的市场化周期，通过四大关键创新举措，将漂浮式振荡水柱（Oscillating Water Column, OWC）技术的平准化度电成本（Levelized Cost of Energy, LCOE）预估降低至多50%。

作为项目活动的组成部分，状态监测系统被部署于IDOM公司MARMOK-A-5型波浪能转换器的海上测试阶段；该设备于2016年10月至2019年6月间部署于比斯开湾海洋能源平台（Biscay Marine Energy Platform, BiMEP）。

本数据集收录了本次大规模测试行动中获取的一系列实验结果。本次测试分为两个部署周期：第一测试周期采用聚酯系泊缆绳，第二测试周期则采用创新性弹性体系泊缆绳，相关细节已在项目文档中详述。本实验数据集旨在为两种不同配置下系统的动态行为提供量化对比数据。
