This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

Wave energy is arguably one of the most promising renewables. Less developed at present
than other renewables, the existing models to estimate the costs of a wave energy project …

In this paper we present a high resolution assessment of the wave energy resources in the
Mediterranean. The energy resources are evaluated through of a numerical simulation …

Development of ocean wave energy requires general knowledge of the wave climate as well
as reliable estimates of the available power. A WAVEWATCH III hindcast study with surface …

Over the last two decades, a large body of academic scholarship has been generated on
wave and tidal energy related topics. It is therefore important to assess and analyse the …

A state-of-the-art, in terms of spatio-temporal resolution (about 10 km and on a hourly basis)
and temporal span (35 years), wave hindcast is exploited to update existing assessments of …

Sardinia (Italy) is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and its economy is
penalized by high costs of electricity, which is double compared to the continental Italian …

A growing world population and socio-economic development are at the root of an ever-
increasing energy demand throughout the world. Much of this demand is met by means of …

The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (ie off the coasts of
Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral …

In this study, the existence and variability of wave energy resource potential of the Black Sea
based on 15-year hindcast data is described in detail. The hindcasts of wave parameters …
