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 …

Large-scale commercial exploitation of wave energy is certain to require the deployment of
wave energy converters (WECs) in arrays, creating 'WEC farms'. An understanding of the …

The objective of this work is to investigate the impact of a wave farm on the nearshore wave
climate quantifying, for the first time, the interaction of the WECs (Wave Energy Converters) …

Experiments have been performed in the Shallow Water Wave Basin of DHI (Hørsholm,
Denmark), on large arrays of up to 25 heaving point absorber type Wave Energy Converters …

One of the greatest challenges of coastal engineering today is the need for coastal
protection in the changing climate scenario. Places which are nowadays protected will …

This paper addresses the use of numerical wave models for assessing the impact of offshore
wave farms on the nearshore wave climate. Previous studies have investigated the effect of …

This paper concerns experimental measurements of the interaction of a taut moored floating
body, representing a wave energy converter in survivability mode, with extreme waves …

Time-dependent mild-slope equations have been extensively used to compute wave
transformations near coastal and offshore structures for more than 20 years. Recently the …

The location of a wave farm and, in particular, its distance to the coast is one of the key
aspects in a wave energy project. The effects of the farm on the coast, which can be …

Understanding the environmental effects of marine energy (ME) devices is fundamental for
their sustainable development and efficient regulation. However, measuring effects is …
