About the course
Today, wave energy constitutes a largely unexploited source of renewable energy. For ocean waves, the degree of utilisation is relatively high, which means that wave power has good economic potential. The challenge, when developing wave energy, lies in the relatively slow motion of the water and the very high peak energy density. In this course, we will go through the pros and cons of different concepts for the exploitation of wave energy and its environmental impact. The course also deals with the basic theory of water-wave propagation, wave spectra, scaling, and wave-structure interaction.
