US: New tool could help power 22 million homes with marine renewable energy
A toolkit developed by National Laboratories in the US is helping researchers model their marine renewable energy prototypes better.
Dubbed Marine and Hydrokinetic Toolkit (MHKiT), the tool can help save time and money by assessing breakthrough technologies and their performance under a wide range of conditions at sea. First launched in 2020, the toolkit has been used by around 29,000 researchers working in the MRE with technologies as diverse as underwater turbines to harness the temperature gradient of oceanic currents to generate electricity. “Yes, MHKiT is a powerful tool, with standardized, validated code, software, and data that make it possible to control analysis quality,” said Chris Ivanov, NREL MHKiT-MATLAB Developer, in a press release.
