This study evaluates the influence of wave climate tunability on the performance of a generic Wave Energy Converter (WEC) for different climate scenarios. The generic WEC is assumed to be composed of an array of heaving, floating cylinders. In this study, two natural periods for the cylinders of...

In this work, an analysis of the uncertainty that influences wave energy farm financial returns is carried out. Firstly, a methodology to analyze the financial uncertainty through cash flow analysis is developed. A reconstruction of a set of power production life-cycles is made based on the...
