Assessing the Portuguese wave-power resource
Denis Mollison,M. T. Pontes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Portuguese wave-power resource is estimated using 3 years of data from the UK Meteorological Office's wind-wave model, in addition to available wave buoy measurements for northern Portugal.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Atlas of the Wave-Energy Resource in Europe
M. T. Pontes,Gerassimos A. Athanassoulis,Steve Barstow,Luigi Cavaleri,B. Holmes,Denis Mollison,H. Oliveira-Pires +6 more
TL;DR: An Atlas of the European offshore wave energy resource that is being developed within the scope of an European project is presented in this article.It is mainly based on wave estimates produced by the numerical wind-wave model WAM that is in routine operation at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Reading, UK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean waves: Energy resource assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the origin of waves and the transformation they undergo as they propagate towards the coast through waters of decreasing depth is presented, and the wave and wave energy parameters and statistics required for resource characterization are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of numerical wind-wave models for assessment of the offshore wave energy resource
TL;DR: In this paper, an intercomparison of two wind-wave models against buoy data in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea was performed to select the most suitable one for the construction of an Atlas of the wave energy resource in European waters.
