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. ...

Calculation of accurate ocean wave energy values is crucial for evaluating the feasibility of the installation of wave energy converters. Wave power can be calculated using a spectral parametric formulation. This parametric ...

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 correlation between water and energy is currently the focus of several investigations. In particular, desalination is a technological process characterized by high energy consumption

The energy period is a crucial parameter needed for assessing wave energy. This parameter is regularly approximated using standard wave spectrums that do not always characterise an actual ocean region, even more if this ...

The current shortcoming in the development of wave energy technology is the shortage of available ocean data. To manage the lack of ocean data, theoretical assumptions are usually considered. These reasonable assumptions ...

In this paper wave scattering from an asymmetrical change of cross-sectional area in a beam is numerically studied. Incident symmetric and antisymmetric Lamb waves are considered and multiple wave mode conversion due to ...

Renewable energies are told to be the future of energy generation for the world; nowadays, the wind sector is the one with more development in technology. However, there are two big sources of energy that have not been ...

Guided waves at high frequency are used in structural health monitoring systems to detect damage. The successful application of the technique, however, requires a deep understanding of wave mode propagation and scattering, ...
