“…Therefore, a broad number of coastal forms and nearshore processes can be monitored using remote techniques. For instance, researchers have used video images to extract beach and nearshore bathymetry (Stockdon and Holman, 2000;Aarninkhof et al, 2003), the nearshore hydrodynamics (Chickadel et al, 2003), as well as to unravel the formation and displacement of sand bars (Lippman and Holman, 1989;Ojeda, 2008;Ruessink et al, 2000) or the beachface morphodynamics (Almar et al, 2008;Ortega-Sánchez et al, 2007). The capabilities and functionality of video-based costal monitoring systems are evolving rapidly; more so with the CoastView project that highlighted and standardized the possibilities and future trends of these systems for coastal zone or navigational channels management Turner and Anderson, 2007;Koningsveld et al, 2007).…”

A low cost, automated, remote monitoring video system built on standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and implemented with open source software is presented. The system has been implemented in a coastal area to perform image acquisition and processing, generating statistical products and transferring the information from the fi eld to a central node where post-processing and data visualization are made available to the general public. The open structure of the software allows the user to implement new routines and modules appropriate to fi t specifi c needs as well as to adapt the system to study other dynamical processes where continuous observation is required. The software and image data base can be obtained as freeware.

“…Recently, many studies have been published on this method which has enabled significant progress in the knowledge of both intertidal and subtidal bar systems Ruessink, 2003a, 2003b;Ranasinghe et al, 2004;Quartel et al, 2007Quartel et al, , 2008. In particular, the role of morphologic feedback (Wright et al, 1985;Ruessink and Terwindt, 2000;Plant et al, 2001;Quartel et al, 2008;Ortega-Sanchez et al, 2008) and possible coupling between the systems have been investigated, as well as the influence of tide on the type, intensity and duration of the wave processes operating on the cross-shore profile (Masselink and Turner, 1999;Masselink et al, 2006;Reichmüth and Anthony, 2007;Price and Ruessink, 2008). Nevertheless, most of these studies concern micro-and meso-tidal environments and there are still knowledge gaps concerning meso-, macro-, and mega-tidal environments.…”

“…The southwestern area of the Gulf of Cádiz is one of the few locations along the southern coast of Spain where it is feasible to install a WEC array 55 due to its wide continental shelf (30 km), relatively low depths and mild slopes (Ortega-Sánchez et al, 2008), with the shelf-break at approximately 120 m water depth (Fig. 1a-b).…”

Over the last decades, several efforts have been made to develop an alternative and sustainable energy source from wind waves. To achieve the financial sustainability of this technology, most of the research has focused on analyzing facilities composed by several wave energy converters (WECs) arrays instead of isolated ones. Although the interaction between devices and its implications on the performance of the facilities have been studied beforehand, these previous works only considered certain combinations of sea states, limiting the applicability of the results. This work applies a new methodology based on statistical methods to assess the performance of different WEC array distributions during their entire life-cycle in an efficient way, using downscaling techniques and advanced numerical modeling for the propagation of the wave climate. The results obtained during the hindcasted life-cycle are used to analyze the maintenance and operation capabilities of the different alternatives of arrays defined for the WEC facility. The interactions between devices and their efficiency considering the associated impact are also quantified. The whole process was applied to a hypothetical array location in the Gulf of Cádiz (southwestern Spain), where three different array distributions were defined. Results show that the distance between WECs is a key parameter that controls the potential energy production, the efficiency * Corresponding author alopez50@us.es Preprint submitted to Applied Energy June 7, 2017 VERSIÓN PREPRINT -Primera versiónof the facility and the interaction between several devices.
