Abstract

Wave Energy Converters (WECs) have not yet proven their competitiveness in the mainstream energy market. Research and development of this technology are necessary to find optimal solutions in terms both of energy produced and reduced cost. A WEC farm is expected to have reduced Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) compared to individual devices due to shared installation and grid connection costs. Studies show that energy yield of a WEC array is highly dependent on spacing and layout of the WECs. A method for selecting an optimal array layout is desirable.
