The selection of the appropriate wave energy converter (WEC) and site is the basis for the installation of a wave farm in a region. For this purpose, the estimation of the energy that any WEC would produce at any location of interest is fundamental. Despite all its importance, this information...

This work deals with the assessment of the optimal location—in terms of the electric energy production—for a shoreline Wave Energy Converter (WEC). The methodology is presented through a case study in which the wave energy conversion technology and the location selected correspond to the...
