Annual short duration exploitability profiles for zonal classification of wave energy resources

Sanjoy Roy

Energy, 2025, vol. 335, issue C

Abstract: For wave energy converters to be integrated within utility network, marine resources must be exploited despite short duration variability of source waves. A conventional assessment of wave resources typically involves data at hourly (or higher) intervals with short duration variations unrepresented, and is therefore somewhat incomplete from the perspective of network integration. Further, as energy flux variability differs between seasons, a complete assessment of resource exploitability must represent all possible seasonal conditions over a year. This is largely beyond the scope of long term wave indices that have been in common use.
