Near-Shore Wave Energy

The vertical motion of ocean waves is converted in linear or rotational motion for driving electrical generators by means of a PTO system. These technologies can harness energy from a wave front much larger than the horizontal width. These systems are designed for the implementation of wave farms.

Technical Description

Description	The vertical motion of ocean waves is converted in linear or rotational motion for driving electrical generators by means of a PTO system. These technologies can harness energy from a wave front much larger than the horizontal width. These systems are designed for the implementation of wave farms.
Physical Requirements	Minimum wave height: 0.5 m Bathymetry: 7 – 25 m
Dimensions	Minimum distance: 25 m Height: 3.5 - 7 m Height : 1.5 – 2.5 m Width: 3 – 5 m
Technical aspects/Turbine:	Rated power: 10kW Electricity production: 40 – 60 MWh/yr
Points of attention:	-Productivity – actual wave energy potential (variability and seasonality of wave characteristics such as height and frequency) -Connection to the grid -Possible impacts on marine ecosystems -Possible impacts on navigation & fishing (interference with navigation routes) -Maintenance costs (corrosion by seawater) -Variability of wave direction
