The main objective of the present work was to assess and compare the wave power
resources in various offshore and nearshore areas. From this perspective, three different …

The objective of the present work is to perform an evaluation of the performance provided by
various technologies for wave energy conversion in the Portuguese continental coastal …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art research progress of large-scale model at-sea
measurements in relation to ship resistance, propulsion, manoeuvrability, seakeeping and …

In the present paper a hindcast system is applied to the analysis of the Atlantic European
coast as a whole with specific nestings for sites of interest in each country. The areas …

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the local and coastal impact of a wave farm
based on Pelamis convertors that would operate in the Portuguese nearshore. The target …

Wave–current interaction (WCI) processes can potentially alter tidal currents, and
consequently affect the tidal stream resource at wave exposed sites. In this research, a high …

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 …

Starting from the observation that an important next stage in exploiting the ocean energy is
to install large arrays of several identical devices in order to raise their overall electricity …

The objective of the present work is to analyse the performance of a high-resolution wave
forecasting system to provide accurate real time information about the sea states in the …

This paper presents the uncertainty modelling of experimental results for a physical model of
a tanker moored to a terminal inside a port. The physical model was built for an oil terminal …
