Sustainable power sources have become indispensable in modern society. The most
promising renewable sources of energy are wind and ocean, which are widely distributed …

The proposal of new technologies capable of producing electrical energy from renewable
sources has driven research into seas and oceans. Research finds this field very promising …

Integrating variable and non-dispatchable renewable power generation into existing power
systems will have consequences for their operation and future expansion. These impacts …

A review of some representative floating wave energy converter (WEC) projects in the world,
including the wave energy capturing technology, development history, main dimensions 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 …

In this work, an extended overview of the marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean
Sea is provided as regards current status, potential problems, challenges, and perspectives …

A state-of-the-art, in terms of spatio-temporal resolution (about 10 km and on a hourly basis)
and temporal span (35 years), wave hindcast is exploited to update existing assessments of …

A climatology of the wind waves in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. The climate
patterns, their spatio-temporal variability and change are based on a 40-year (1980–2019) …

Energy-maximising wave energy conversion control strategies are commonly based upon
direct optimal control theory, where the control problem is discretised and transcribed into a …

Regional assessments of the wave energy resource tend to focus on averaged quantities,
and so provide potential developers with no sense of temporal variability beyond seasonal …
