Physical Requirements | Minimum wave height: : <1 m - 1.6 m Bathymetry: 35 – 50 m |
Dimensions | Distance: > 30 m Width: 5 m – 8 m |
Technical aspects/Turbine: | Rated power: 8 kW – 100 kW Electricity production: 12 - 250 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 |
