Abstract

The potential of Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) systems is usually evaluated based on recent metocean data and assuming the stationarity of the MRE resource. Yet, different studies in the literature have shown long-term resource variations and even the connection between ocean warming and wave power variations. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately characterise the future resource, including these long-term variations. To that end, this paper presents a novel data-driven forecasting approach through the combination of machine-learning (ML) and oceanic engineering concepts. First, the historical resource is characterised in the Bay of Biscay, including the different long-term trends identified based upon the dataset obtained via the SIMAR model ensemble. Secondly, the most relevant features of the metocean dataset are extracted and selected via advanced statistical techniques. Finally, three different ML algorithms are designed, validated and tested. All three ML models demonstrate to adequately represent the overall pattern of the dataset, although showing difficulties with reproducing particular peak values. Accordingly, an alternative interval prediction approach is presented for three different wave height discretisation levels, showing a greater potential for long-term metocean data forecasting.
