TL;DR: In this article, the wave energy potential for remote islands is discussed by regarding environmental impacts, various types of wave energy converters and applied wave power projects for various islands, and the results show that wave energy plays a key role for sustainable development of offshore islands by considering the traditional looks and environmental protection.
Abstract: The application of renewable energies has increased rapidly in the previous decade to solve some problems such as growing energy demand and environmental issues. Wave power as a high potential renewable energy, is more predictable compared to other renewable sources. Although there are many research works about wave energy, however a few of them considered a suitable wave energy converter (WEC) as a power system for remote islands. Wave energy potential for remote islands is discussed in this review by regarding environmental impacts, various types of wave energy converters and applied wave power projects for various islands. The results show that wave energy plays a key role for sustainable development of offshore islands by considering the traditional looks and environmental protection.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the wave amplitude on diffusion coefficients was investigated and it was shown that as the amplitude increases, the bounce-averaged quasi-linear diffusion coefficients become invalid.
Abstract: [1] Quasi-linear bounce-averaged diffusion coefficients for interactions between electrons and parallel propagating whistler waves in a dipole field are compared with test particle simulations. We solve equations of motion for a large number of electrons interacting with waves with a Gaussian distribution of wave power. For broadband and small amplitude waves, which are assumed by the quasi-linear analysis, our test particle simulation results agree well with quasi-linear theory predictions. We then demonstrate the effect of the wave amplitude on diffusion coefficients. We show that as the amplitude increases, the bounce-averaged quasi-linear diffusion coefficients become invalid. Critical wave amplitudes for the breakdown of the bounce-averaged diffusion coefficients for a range of energies and pitch angles are calculated for the set of wave parameters we used. Finally, we investigate the effect of wave bandwidth on bounce-averaged diffusion coefficients. Consistent with a previous theoretical prediction, bounce-averaged quasi-linear diffusion coefficients are still valid for narrowband waves, as long as the wave amplitude is small. When the amplitude of the narrowband wavefield increases, nonlinear effects such as phase-bunching and trapping become dominant and correspondingly quasi-linear theory becomes invalid. Our results demonstrate the validity of applying quasi-linear theory to interactions between electrons and small amplitude plasma waves in the radiation belt.

TL;DR: It is finally shown that the log-Normal assumption can be seen as acceptable, even though it may be refined in the future, for the probabilistic forecasting of the wave energy flux, based on a log-normal assumption for the shape of predictive densities.
