The economics of wave energy: A review
S. Astariz,Gregorio Iglesias +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review all the factors that must be considered in an economic analysis of wave energy, including a number of elements that are usually overlooked, and characterise the direct and indirect costs of a wave farm, as well as its prospective incomes.

Wave energy device and breakwater integration: A review
M. A. Mustapa,Omar Yaakob,Yasser M. Ahmed,Yasser M. Ahmed,Chang-Kyu Rheem,Kho King Koh,Faizul Amri Adnan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors bring the latest status on integration of wave energy device with other marine facilities, which is the breakwater structure that may possibly aid to cost sharing, and show that the integration opens up a new dimension to acknowledge the technology harnessing ocean wave, especially for the Asian countries experiencing medium wave condition.

Large-scale experiments on the behaviour of a generalised Oscillating Water Column under random waves
TL;DR: In this paper, wave reflection and loading on a generalised Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converter are investigated by means of large scale (approximately 1:5-1:9) experiments in the Grosse Wellenkanal (GWK), in which variation of both still water depth and orifice (PTO) dimension are investigated under random waves.

Wave energy utilization: A review of the technologies
TL;DR: In this article, the development of wave energy utilization since the 1970s is discussed, with a focus on the characterization of the wave energy resource; theoretical background, with especial relevance to hydrodynamics of wave absorption and control; how a large range of devices kept being proposed and studied, and how such devices can be organized into classes; the conception, design, model-testing, construction and deployment into real sea of prototypes.

Prototype Testing of the Wave Energy Converter Wave Dragon
TL;DR: The Wave Dragon as discussed by the authors is an offshore wave energy converter of the overtopping type, which consists of two wave reflectors focusing the incoming waves towards a ramp, a reservoir for collecting the over-topping water and a number of hydro turbines for converting the pressure head into power.
The Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040
TL;DR: In the South East Asia Petroleum Exploration Society (SEAPEX) Conference, Singapore, 2013 as discussed by the authors, the authors presented that the global unconventional gas development will continue and the Asia market growth will dominate however there are still a lot of unknowns.
