Abstract

Wave energy is expected to play an important role in the forthcoming years for the de-carbonisation of Scottish and British electricity production. This study underlines the importance of resource assessment and attempts to improve the quantifiable wave power resource, with use of a validated numerical model. While levels of wave flux are high for an area that may not always constitute the best option for wave energy applications. In this study, a long-term hindcast for the Scottish coastlines run from 2004 to 2014 (11 years) improving the existing wave maps and resource estimations. Spatial and physical considerations of a third generation spectral model allow examination at locations of immediate interest for the ocean energy community. Utilising numerical wave models of finer resolution allows for the detailed coupling of potential wave energy converters (WECs) and site characterization. Such detail energy results allow for improved financial analysis that take into account the severity of local resource and its energy potential.

通过改进的近岸波浪图集提取苏格兰的波浪能
波浪能有望在未来几年苏格兰和英国电力生产的脱碳中发挥重要作用。本研究强调了资源评估的重要性,并试图通过使用经过验证的数值模型来改善可量化的波浪能资源。虽然一个地区的波通量水平很高,但可能并不总是构成波浪能应用的最佳选择。在这项研究中,从2004年到2014年(11年)对苏格兰海岸线进行了长期预测,改进了现有的波浪图和资源估计。第三代光谱模型的空间和物理考虑允许在海洋能源社区直接感兴趣的位置进行检查。利用更精细分辨率的数值波模型,可以详细耦合潜在波能转换器(WECs)和场地表征。这种详细的能源结果有助于改进考虑到当地资源的严重程度及其能源潜力的财务分析。
