(2014), “Assessment of Mean Wave Energy Potential for the Atlantic European Coast Using Numerical Modelling”, Developments in Maritime Transportation and Exploitation of Sea Resources, Guedes Soares, C. and López Peña, F. (Eds.), Francis & Taylor Group, London, UK, pp. 1003-1012
In order to characterize the wave conditions and assess the wave energy potential for the Atlantic European coast, two state of the art spectral models were used: WaveWatch III used for wave generation covering almost the entire North Atlantic basin which outputs are then used as boundary conditions for SWAN used for wave transformation in coastal areas. Wind fields were taken from ERA Interim data base, owned by ECMWF. Validation tests were carried out with buoy data so that the model's performance could be evaluated. The time series evolution of SWAN’s simulation and buoy’s data are presented as well as statistic parameters such as Root Mean Square Error, Bias, Scatter Index and Correlation coefficient. Theoretical values for wave power were calculated using the energy transport vectors. Energetic assessment was done for a period of several years and mean values of energy potential were estimated and analysed on a monthly basis.
