This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have
still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the …

Unlike more established renewable energy conversion technologies, such as wind turbines,
wave power systems have reached neither commercial maturity, nor technological …

There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy
converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment …

With an increasing focus on climate action and energy security, an appropriate mix of
renewable energy technologies is imperative. Despite having considerable global potential …

Ocean wave energy is attractive for its large reserves, exploitability and low emissions.
Although many Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts have been proposed, high …

In recent decades, the emphasis on renewable resources has grown considerably, leading
to significant advances in the sector of wave energy. Nevertheless, the market cannot still be …

Recently, electrical power generation from oceanic waves is becoming very popular, as it is
prospective, predictable, and highly available compared to other conventional renewable …

Probably the biggest challenge for wave energy is to ensure survival in harsh offshore
conditions, in order to reduce costs for offshore repair operations and downtime, and …

Over the last two decades, a large body of academic scholarship has been generated on
wave and tidal energy related topics. It is therefore important to assess and analyse the …
