Abstract
In this work, a mathematical computer simulation model is used to predict the possible
energy generated from different Waves Energy Converters (WECs) in the Canary Islands. The Monte
Carlo Method is the computer simulation model proposed to predict the generated energy. The
Waves Energy Converter systems analyzed in the study were, the Aqua Buoy, Wave Dragon and
Pelamis converters. The models were implemented and validated, with the dataset of Gran Canaria
deep water buoy. This buoy belongs to a network of buoys belonging to Spain’s State Ports and they
cover a dataset period of 22 years. The research has concluded that it is possible to affirm that the
achieved model is a strong tool to compute the possible energy of any WECs, when the power matrix
is known. The model based on the Monte Carlo simulation can be used in isolated islands of the
Atlantic Ocean and can be extrapolated to other regions with the same characteristics.
