When estimating significant wave height and wave power, it is regularly assumed 4 for the spectral estimate factor. It means considering a narrowband wave spectrum. That approach is accurate enough when the spectral broadness ...

Technologies for converting wave energy to electricity are not mature yet. It is necessary to understand the characteristics and potential of the wave climate of the local area where wave energy converters will be installed. ...

The title of this postcard is German for "Atlantic Waves" which describes the large swells in the photograph.

In this work, a study of the wave climate in a region of the Peruvian Sea Basin is carried out using wave spectral data. Time series of 10-year buoy ocean data are processed. The analysis of the wave climate presented that ...

The interest in harnessing the wave energy resource has been reflected in a large number of assessments of this resource around the world. These are aimed at the installation of wave energy converters and thus contribute ...

Purpose: We investigated the non-linear dynamic behavior of a system for energy production using ocean wave motion. The compound consists of a linear electromagnetic system coupled to a float to move under the action of ...

Extreme waves generated in the ocean are of high importance because various maritime structures in the world, including ships, are confronted to this type of wave events, both in deep waters and in coastal areas. Some ...
