This project focuses on developing a numerical tool to estimate the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for vessel-mounted hydrokinetic turbines. By leveraging open-source software and public-domain data, the tool evaluates energy capture and costs for deploying turbines on vessels in tidal energy-rich locations. The goal is to identify viable early-stage markets and optimize turbine designs for efficient energy generation in remote coastal communities. This submission includes: -GitHub repository containing an optimization tool developed for the design of vessel-integrated hydrokinetic turbines - Case Study file that includes code used for the case study and post-processing of data as well as scripts to execute the optimization tool and reproduce results - The public Post Access Report for this project - Link to the final MHKDR submission for this project, including the proprietary Post Access Report This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 8 (request for technical support) program.
