Unlike more established renewable energy conversion technologies, such as wind turbines,
wave power systems have reached neither commercial maturity, nor technological …

Existing wave energy technology has been designed for ocean waves, which, however,
shorten the lifespan of wave energy converters and mooring systems. Furthermore …

There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy
converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment …

Over recent decades, the exploitation of wave energy resources has sparked a wide range
of technologies dedicated to capturing the available power with maximum efficiency …

A state-of-the-art, in terms of spatio-temporal resolution (about 10 km and on a hourly basis)
and temporal span (35 years), wave hindcast is exploited to update existing assessments of …

The economic profitability of future wave energy production along the Galician coast is
assessed by analyzing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) under different Capital …

Offshore oil and gas platforms have very high-power demands, being the electric power
supply usually provided by gas turbines operating with natural gas extracted from the field …

A mapping of wind and wave potentials of the whole Mediterranean basin, aimed at
identifying the areas where wind and wave events are not time-correlated, was performed in …

This paper presents an evaluation of the efficiency of twelve state of the art wave energy
converters in the Atlantic Ocean, in the vicinity of the most important European islands and …

The work investigates the potential of the Mediterranean offshore for wave electricity
production, providing basin-scale results useful for future smaller-scale studies on specific …
