This paper presents results of the Reference Model Project (RMP), which began five years
ago to facilitate Marine Energy Conversion (MEC) technology development and market …

In offshore engineering, it is common practice to estimate long-term extremes under the
assumption that environmental conditions are independent. However, many environmental …

Where should the first wave farm in a region be installed? The nearshore area with the
largest resource is the prime candidate. But how should this area be determined? Wave …

This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the hydrodynamics of a two-
body floating-point absorber (FPA) wave energy converter (WEC) under both extreme and …

The evaluation of the probability of occurrence of extreme natural events is important for the
protection of urban areas, industrial facilities and others. Traditionally, the extreme value …

This paper makes use of two types of extreme value distributions, namely: the generalized
extreme value distribution often referred to as the block of maxima method (BMM), and the …

The generalised Pareto distribution (GPD) is often used to model the distribution of storm
peak wave heights exceeding a high threshold, from which return values can be calculated …

The classical extreme value theory based on generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution
and generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is applied to the wave height estimate based on …

Choice of tuning parameters influences the performance of non-stationary extreme value
modelling for peaks over threshold using the generalised Pareto (GP) distribution. We …

This article compares the accuracy of return value estimates from stationary and non-
stationary extreme value models when the data exhibits covariate dependence. The non …
