Abstract: This paper presents the results of a case study comparing the performance of two wave energy devices at various scaled power ratings deployed at several European wave energy locations. The study facilitates a novel comparison to be made of different technology types, different wave energy locations and assessed the impacts of using scaled version of the devices on performance. The Pelamis P1 and Wavestar devices were modelled at a sample spread of wave climates locations across Europe. The performance of the devices at various scales and locations was shown both from an energy and economic perspective.
