Satellite-based wave data and wave energy resource assessment for South China Sea
TLDR
In this article, an assessment of wave energy resources in the South China Sea (Malaysian Exclusive Economic Zone) using satellite altimeter is presented, where fifteen 2°×-2° zones were considered around the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and the coast of East Malaysia, and the 10-year data were validated with buoy measurements and presented as the probability distribution of wave height and wave period.About:

Quantifying the global wave power resource
Kester Gunn,Clym Stock-Williams +1 more
TL;DR: Justifying continued development and large-scale deployment of Wave Energy Converters requires quantification of the potential resource, and existing estimates do not provide insight into potential future markets, i.e. the location of the resource.
