“…However, there are still some noteworthy milestones. In theory, feed‐forward control is studied to overcome the non‐causality [217], while several devices are tested in the open ocean, including the TAPCHAN [218], Kvaerner column [219], OSPREY OWC [32], Islay OWC [32] and Pico OWC [220].…”

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 diversity of device operating principles, the variety of onshore/nearshore/offshore deployment possibilities, the diversity of the wave climate at various potential wave energy sites, and the consequent lack of convergence in technology and consensus. This distributed effort has, in turn, lead to a slow rate of progression up the learning curve, with a significant number of wave energy company liquidations and technical setbacks dampening investor confidence. Although a number of reviews on wave energy technology are already in the published literature, such a dynamic environment merits an up‐to‐date analysis and this review examines the wave energy landscape from a technological, research and commercial perspective.

“…Onshore or fixed OWCs have been around for many years [216,219,691,774]. One of the first commercial examples of this technology was constructed in Toftestallen, Norway in 1985 [489]. Other notable early examples were the LIMPET power plant installed on the Isle of Islay of the west coast of Scotland in 2000 [75,834,254,11], the Pico power plant [218,222,93,90] in the Azores, which went into operation in 1999 and the OSPREY WEC, which was deployed off the coast of Scotland in 1995 [534].…”

“…As an example of a full-scale OWC system, the Kvaerner Brug's OWC plant was realized at Toftesfallen (Norway) in 1985 [42], with an electrical rated power of 500 kW [43]. The lower part was realized in concrete, with a height of 3.5 m above sea level.…”

Sea Wave Energy. A Review of the Current Technologies and Perspectives

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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 in the future of renewable energies, especially in areas where there are specific climatic and morphological characteristics to exploit large amounts of energy from the sea. In general, this kind of energy is referred to as six energy resources: waves, tidal range, tidal current, ocean current, ocean thermal energy conversion, and saline gradient. This review has the aim to list several wave-energy converter power plants and to analyze their years of operation. In this way, a focus is created to understand how many wave-energy converter plants work on average and whether it is indeed an established technology.
