“…This work with a single WEC was extended to include arrays of WECs in [27]- [29]. Flicker and voltage fluctuations at the point of common coupling (PCC) caused by a 20-MW array of WECs connected to electricity networks of different strengths were studied in [27].…”

“…In that paper, flicker and voltage fluctuations were examined as well as the harmonics introduced by arrays of WECs and the low-voltage ride-through capability of those arrays. In [29], a techno-economic analysis of different wave farm collection networks was presented. In addition to flicker and voltage fluctuations, the losses in the collection network and the power factor at the PCC were considered in the technical assessment.…”

This paper describes a fully coupled, wave-to-wire time-domain model that can simulate the hydrodynamic, mechanical, and electrical response of an array of wave energy converters. Arrays of any configuration can be simulated to explore both the effects of the array on the electricity network and of network events on the devices within the array. State-space modeling of the hydrodynamic radiation forces enables fast and accurate prediction of the interacting response of multiple devices, including the effects of wave climate, control strategies, and network power flow. Case studies include the demonstration of the bidirectional interaction of the array and the network.

“…Europe still respects this innovation to be in the exploration stage despite the fact that no less than two plans have been fused by European utilities for the purposes associated with prototyping. Japan, China and India are likewise included in wave energy; in any case, their contribution is for the most part institutional and concentrated on oscillating water column devices [38]. The U.S. has seen a blast of development in the quantity of organizations offering wave energy devices with 25 or more than that [39].…”

“…In today's world, the popular sources of energy, the fossil fuels -including natural gas, coal and oil, give around 95 percent of the total energy of the world [24]. Be that as it may they contain numerous social and ecological issues [38]. The Environmental effect is so severe to the point that the processes associated with the burning of fossil fuels is thought to be the biggest contributing variable to the emission of the greenhouse gases within the atmosphere.…”

More than 80% of electric power production throughout the world originates from the fossil fuelled plants. In accordance with the anticipation for increase in the demand for electricity, there is certainly a need to determine a new method to utilize renewable sources for extracting electric energy through renewable sources. In today's world, the supply of renewable electric energy is found to be one of the significant priorities within numerous parts of the world. The significant proof of this incorporates the last agreement at Marrakech 2002 and the Kyoto declaration during 1997. Both the US and EU have already developed their focus on the future emissions of greenhouse gases. It should be noted that ocean waves makes a representation of a significant source of unexplored renewable energy. Within the EU, the potential of wave energy has been conservatively estimated as 120-190 TWh per year within offshores emulated by some additional 34-46 TWh per year within near shore locations. Moreover, such anticipations rely on presumptions of energy and technology cost. And, the genuine resource would get to be notably larger. In this particular case, it can be found to be a challenging task for converting such boundless energies within the ocean waves to the electric energy. However, a considerable attention should be paid to the economic constraints for the purpose of approaching future production of sustainable electric power production for the future. This study will discuss relevant aspects for the climate change which is found to be a global threat to the entire world. For this it is quite obvious that one of the significant cause of this is the emission of carbon within the atmosphere. For this global threat, there are numerous causes and one among them includes the emission of greenhouse gas as mentioned earlier. The study will also discuss as to how wave energy can be used to allow prevention of the carbon emissions within the atmosphere. Other than that, there would be appropriate discussions on the energy devices, policies, and protocols, regional and international developments.

“…They suggest that, although the technology is not currently cost competitive, advances in design and relaxation of grid codes would change this. In a more technical assessment, Armstrong et al [8] and Trilla et al [9] studied power quality issues, such as voltage limits, flicker, low voltage ride through, and potential harmonic injections from power electronics. In [10], a wave-to-wire model was created and control strategies were developed to mitigate wave energy converters (WECs) impact to the point of common coupling.…”

Ocean wave energy is a developing industry that provides many attractive qualities for utilities to meet future energy demand. Therefore, it is important to investigate and understand the impact that ocean wave energy has on power system reliability. Reliability assessment techniques have been applied to systems with variable amounts of wind penetration, but as of yet, no study has explored the impacts that ocean wave energy may have on the reliability of power grids. The authors' approach to this problem applies a sequential Monte Carlo technique coupled with a Well-Being analysis approach to capture the seasonal variations associated with the ocean and then calculate key loss-of-load indices. The authors benchmark this method on the IEEE Reliability Test System 1996 and integrate synthesised ocean wave energy farms throughout the system. Their results suggest that wave energy results in a small decrease on the reliability of the power system, however, this change does not result in additional failure states as compared to the base system. Additionally, they are able to mitigate marginal system states with a relatively small increase in system capacity.
