Data Acquisition and Control for Marine Energy Devices: Cost Considerations

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This document discusses the process involved with developing a data acquisition system specifically in the context of applications for Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) technologies however, much of what is presented is applicable to applications requiring data acquisition in general. The detail on the process is provided to highlight the critical steps and needs for a successful measurement campaign and to understand what can impact the overall outcome, cost, and schedule. The process presented is an amalgamation of best practices, lessons learned, recommendations, and prudent technical project planning and management. Data acquisition systems may be tightly integrated with or into the device under measurement and it often has its own dependencies that must be met. Therefore, early consideration and planning for the data acquisition system are stressed throughout this document.
