Energy, 1987, vol. 12, issue 6, 501-507

Abstract: The wave power potential off the south-west Indian coast is examined using wave data recorded at four locations for one year. Salter's method is used but modified for intermediate waters. The annual average wave power ranges between 0.7 and 10.9 kW/m, with Trivandrum recording the highest and Tellicherry the lowest. At Trivandrum, the average power varies from 2.2 to 30.9 kW/m through the different months, the peak occurring in June. Here, the monsoonal average is 17.4 kW/m and the highest recorded value is 68.9 kW/m.
