Detailed wave energy resource assessments are necessary for the planning and design of
wave energy converters. The waves in the US Pacific Northwest have been identified as …

Abstract Knowledge of the wave field modification by a wave energy converter (WEC) is
important to device and wave farm design. Cylindrical solutions to the linear wave field have …

This numerical study compares the wave field generated by the spectral wave action
balance code, SNL-SWAN, to the linear-wave boundary-element method (BEM) code …

A parabolic reflection wall is located behind a wave farm of heaving point absorber Wave
Energy Converters (WECs) modelled with patches of bottom friction in the linear wave model …

Australia's wave energy resource has been assessed as being arguably the largest in the
world, thereby providing a potential future renewable energy resource to Australia's …

Accurately assessing potential far-field environmental impacts due to wave energy converter
(WEC) arrays is needed for commercialization of wave energy. One of the barriers to …

This study presents a methodology for power take off (PTO) forecasting for an array of heave
wave energy converters (WECs). Based on spectral data obtained directly from the National …

Commercialization of wave energy will lead to the necessary deployment of Wave Energy
Converters (WECs) in arrays, or wave farms. In order for projects in the United States to be …
