Paasch et al.
This paper illustrates the status of wave energy development in Pacific rim countries by characterizing the available resource and introducing the region's current and potential future leaders in wave energy converter development. It also describes the existing licensing and permitting process as well as potential environmental concerns. Capabilities of Pacific Ocean testing facilities are…

Babajani et al.
Over the past decades, different types of energy converters have been invented because wave energy is a renewable energy source with high potential for extraction of considerable clean energy. Many numerical and experimental tests have been conducted to calculate the power generation of ocean waves, and these tests have demonstrated the significance of this energy. In this paper, the…

This paper presents some of the research currently undertaken by the newly established Wave Energy Research Centre at the University of Western Australia to support Carnegie Clean Energy in deploying a 1.5MW grid connected wave energy converter in Torbay, Albany, Western Australia. This includes the modelling of the wave resources in Torbay, wave tank testing and hydrodynamic modelling to…

Halliday et al.
This paper examines the appropriateness of the Fast Fourier Transform for decomposition and reconstruction of wave records taken at fixed locations and transposed to a different temporal and spatial point. In marine renewable energy, advanced control methods based on the future prediction of waves are being developed. These methods are based on the assumption that a forward looking prediction…

The study investigates the impact that construction of a Severn Barrage in the Severn Estuary, on the west coast of the UK, might have on local wave conditions. Implementation of a barrage will impact on tidal currents and water elevations in the wider region. There is strong tidal modulation of wave conditions under the natural regime and therefore barrage-induced changes to…

Marine energy sources are an untapped resource that is able to make a significant contribution to renewable and clean energy generation. In Uruguay, investments in renewable energy have experienced strong growth in recent years, mainly due to the development of wind energy farms. In this research, two marine energy sources are assessed on the Uruguayan shelf seas: wave energy and tidal…

Some relevant patterns for the wave energy spatial distribution in the Portuguese nearshore are analyzed in this work. A medium term analysis of the wave climate in the target area was first carried out based on recent buoy measurements covering the 10-year period 1994–2003. A wave prediction system based on the two state-of-the-art spectral models, WAM and SWAN, was used to evaluate the wave…

A detailed review of wave energy resource assessment and the state-of-the-art of deployed wave energy converters (WECs) in real environmental conditions in the Mediterranean Sea have been analysed in this study. The installed power of the several deployed WECs in the Mediterranean Sea varies between 3–2500 kW. Ten project cases of deployed WECs in the basin are presented, with their analysis…

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is an energy generation technology that uses cold deep ocean water (DOW) and warm surface water to produce electricity. Active development of OTEC was started in the 1970s with Hawaii as a major research and development center. In the following several decades, small pilot-scale closed-cycle and open-cycle OTEC plants were successfully designed,…

A numerical method using Hybrid functions which are the orthogonal polynomials, formed from the combination of Block pulse function and Lagrange basis polynomial (HBL) are employed for the estimation of nonlinear energy transfers (NLT) occurring between set of four waves at finite water depths. The advantages and properties of HBL functions provide an easy way for estimating the quadruplets…

Robertson et al.
Renewable energy resource inventories show that ocean waves are one of the most energy dense untapped resources in the world, and present an opportunity to generate significant quantities of electricity. To accurately assess the levels of usable energy over long periods, a parametric representation of the raw wave resource is required. This study investigates the variability across four wave…

There is a strong tidal energy potential in France, especially in the Alderney Race. In the area of study, where turbines will be installed, bathymetry variations are causing velocity fluctuations with a high turbulence rate in the water column: large coherent turbulent structures can be observed at the sea surface. Such events can have a major impact on the marine tidal turbines behaviour and…
