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 …

One of the most abundant energy sources exists in this world is the ocean wave energy. By
far, it has shown to be the most clean, renewable, predicted energy and has raised the …

With the surge in the fossil fuel prices and increasing environmental concerns, significant
efforts have been made to propel and develop alternative energy technologies to cope with …

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been introduced as a new cost‐effective
technology for harvesting renewable wave energy for their unmatchable performance in low …

The optimal utilization of renewable energies is a crucial factor toward the realization of
sustainability and zero carbon in a future energy system. Tidal currents, waves, and thermal …

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 …

Global wave hindcasts provide wave climate information for long time periods which helps to
improve our understanding of climate variability, long term trends and extremes. This …

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 …

Motivated by the fact that in isolated island environments the extraction of the renewable
energy becomes an issue of increasing importance, the objective of the present work is to …

The main concern when utilizing renewable energy resources is their intermittency and
variability. One way to deal with this shortcoming is to harvest energy from complementary …
