The impact of wave energy farms in the shoreline wave climate: Portuguese pilot zone case study using Pelamis energy wave devices

This paper presents an approach to assess the impacts of climate change on wave energy generation. The methodology is illustrated by application to the Wave Hub site off the coast of Cornwall, UK. conditions were generated using two IPCC Present or…

In coastal areas, offshore wave propagation towards the shore is influenced by water depth variations, due to sea bed bathymetry, tides and surges. Considering implications of climate change both on atmospheric forcing and sea level rise, a simple…

An increase in the planning and environmental restrictions associated with wind energy has led to a growth in interest towards wave energy. However, as the connection cost of a wave energy development is a driving factor in the development's…
