TL;DR: In this paper, a fine-resolution numerical wave model is used to provide results for the Greek coastal regions and the results deliver the energy potential, variability, and site characterisation for the Aegean Sea.

TL;DR: This up-to-date review provided original methods complementing the standard technical specifications liable to feed advanced wave energy resource assessment, dedicated to uncertainties in the assessment of the available and expected powers associated with wave–climate temporal variability, physical processes, model implementation and energy extraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a long-term hindcast for the Scottish coastlines run from 2004 to 2014 (11 years) improving the existing wave maps and resource estimations is presented, underlining the importance of resource assessment and attempts to improve the quantifiable wave power resource with use of a validated numerical model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an analysis of the economic viability of wave energy projects with moderate wave energy resources and showed that projects with ≥ 3 million €/MW and a higher risk discount of 10% are viable only for high performing devices with capacity factors ≥ 40%.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a novel index that accounts for the interactions of wave climate and wave energy converters, offering an unbiased approach that considers climate variability, survivability and energy production.
