Towards an optimum design of wave energy converter arrays through an integrated approach of life cycle performance and operational capacity

Abstract: 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 o… Show more

“…To obtain the above LST values, a downscaling technique satisfactorily applied in other coastal areas was implemented (for details, see Bergillos et al ., ; López‐Ruiz et al ., , ). A database of 500 representative deep‐water wave conditions was defined using the hindcast data from SIMAR point 5026021 (see Figure ).…”

“…Polynomial basis functions and radial basis functions (RBF) have often been used to construct shape functions to approximate the unknown field parameters in the point collocation method. RBFs can be applied to support the decisionmaking process of environmental management strategies such as the investigation of different nourishment scenarios of coastline (Bergillos et al, 2018), optimal design of wave energy converters at coastal areas (Lpez-Ruiz et al, 2018) and also groundwater…”

“…Numerical results of heave motion, surge excitation force and surface elevations of wave field agreed well with experimental ones. The far-field effects of wave farms are of interest too, not least in connection with the potential environmental impacts, and have been studied by means of numerical wave models such as SWAN and MIKE 21 (Venugopal and Smith, 2007;Carballo and Iglesias, 2013;Abanades et al, 2014;Iglesias and Carballo, 2014;Iglesias, 2015a, 2015b;Astariz et al, 2015;Abanades et al, 2015;López-Ruiz et al, 2018).…”
