Analysis of the Caribbean wave climate for wave energy harvesting

Abstract In this study, the design requirements for a regional wave energy converter are identified from the analysis of 10 years of spectral data provided by nine buoys located across the Caribbean. It indicated that the average significant wave height and wave period in the Caribbean is 1.62 m and...
