A Study on the Effects of Wave Spectra on Wave Energy Conversions

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 2020
This research work presents an investigation into the effects of wave spectra on energy conversion for wave energy converters and shows it may be important what theoretical spectrum should be used for a better assessment of a wave energy converter (WEC) in the given sea conditions in a proposed deployment site.
