Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have
still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the …

Existing wave energy technology has been designed for ocean waves, which, however,
shorten the lifespan of wave energy converters and mooring systems. Furthermore …

Abstract Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used here to simulate a
heaving point-absorber with a Power Take-Off system (PTO). The SPH-based code …

The use of energy from the sea wave to produce electricity via wave converters is one of the
most interesting methods to meet the electrical demand in coastal cities. Hybridization of …

In this study, according to the potential of available renewable resources in coastal areas, a
hybrid system is proposed. The generalizability of the results of this study to other areas with …

A state-of-the-art regional assessment of future wind and wave energy resource in the
Mediterranean Sea and the projected changes with respect to hindcast is presented. A multi …

This study aims to introduce and discuss the recent research, development and application
of wave energy marine buoys. The topic becomes increasingly appealing after the …

Offshore oil and gas platforms have very high-power demands, being the electric power
supply usually provided by gas turbines operating with natural gas extracted from the field …

Wave energy plays a vital role in providing renewable energy in coastal areas. Several
factors need to be considered for optimum site selection and type of the wave energy …

A mapping of wind and wave potentials of the whole Mediterranean basin, aimed at
identifying the areas where wind and wave events are not time-correlated, was performed in …
