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. ...

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 ...

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 Peru Basin is an unexplored source of clean energy. Projects to install wave farms in this region depend on assessing the energy power that this domain can offer. The state-of-the-art indicates that the technology for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Predicting the scattering from waves that are incident on a damaged section of structure is of importance in structural health monitoring and nondestructive testing techniques to detect dam-age. High frequency waves are ...

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 ...
