The proposal of new technologies capable of producing electrical energy from renewable
sources has driven research into seas and oceans. Research finds this field very promising …

Wave energy is one of the most abundant renewable clean energy sources, and has been
widely studied because of its advantages of continuity and low seasonal variation. However …

Abstract Wave Energy Converters (WECs) have been increasingly installed in various
coastal regions due to the higher energy density of waves than other renewable sources …

The wave energy resource is characterized and assessed for coastal waters of the United
States to evaluate regional opportunities and constraints for wave energy converter (WEC) …

Parametric spectrum models describing a frequency spectrum of ocean surface waves (eg,
Pierson-Moskowitz and JONSWAP (Joint North Sea Wave Project) spectrum) as a function …

In this study, a long-term assessment of the wave energy resource potential for the
Australian southeast shelf is performed from deep to shallow water, based on a 31-year …

Offshore wind and wave energy resources are possibly the last significantly untapped
renewable energy resource, and could play a significant role in mitigating the impacts of …

A 33-year hindcast is presented to quantify the wave energy resource available in the
Atlantic coast of France, showing its availability and variability. The evaluation of the waves …

Better understanding of the global wave climate is required to inform wave energy device
design and large-scale deployment. Spatial variability in the global wave climate is analysed …

While a great deal of research has been performed to quantify and characterize the wave
energy resource, there are still open questions about how a wave energy developer should …
