- Abstract
- In this study, an approach to evaluating wave scatter diagrams and wave power matrices using a spatial wave transfer model and observed ocean wave data was applied to the wave energy converter (WEC) and wave measuring instrument (WMI) installed to the west of Jeju Island, Korea. Wave simulation results showed that waves at WMI location can be represented by waves at the WEC. The results of this study showed that the limitations of the spatial wave transfer model (i.e., an exaggerated response to wave scattering) can be overcome through the application of an advanced wave transfer model and irregular waves. Furthermore, this approach can be used to select optimum install locations for WEC and WMI. ? Copyright 2016 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
