The role of tides in shelf-scale simulations of the wave energy resource

Hashemi, M. Reza; Neill, Simon P. - In: Renewable Energy 69 (2014) C, pp. 300-310

Many regions throughout the world that are suitable for exploitation of the wave energy resource also experience large tidal ranges and associated strong tidal flows. However, tidal effects are not included in the majority of modelling studies which quantify the wave energy resource. This...

An experimental study on the efficiency of the submerged plate wave energy converter

Orer, G.; Ozdamar, A. - In: Renewable Energy 32 (2007) 8, pp. 1317-1327

Several studies have been made using submerged plates for wave-damping purpose. A pulsating flow occurs opposite to the direction of wave propagation below these wave breakers. This water flow can be used for energy production purposes. In this study, the energy efficiency of the plate wave...

Marine energy innovation in the UK energy system: financial capital, social capital and interactive learning

Winskel, Mark - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 27 (2007) 4, pp. 472-491

Innovation activity in marine energy (wave and tidal stream) has been catalysed by a series of recent UK policy initiatives. However, the wider UK energy system remains substantially oriented to market competition and efficiency. As a result, tensions have emerged between recent R&D activity...

Wave energy resource in the Estaca de Bares area (Spain)

Iglesias, G.; Carballo, R. - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 7, pp. 1574-1584

The area around Cape Estaca de Bares (the northernmost point of Iberia) presents a great potential for wave energy exploitation owing to its prominent position, with average deepwater wave power values exceeding 40kW/m. The newly available SIMAR-44 dataset, composed of hindcast data spanning 44...

Wave energy resources: Wave climate and exploitation

Portilla, Jesus; Sosa, Jeison; Cavaleri, Luigi - In: Renewable Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 594-605

In identifying the most convenient zones for harvesting wave energy, it is natural to be attracted by the areas where we find the highest mean energy values. The obvious examples are the storm belts. A more careful analysis reveals that for practical use other factors need to be taken into...
