Abstract
The Andalusian Agency of Energy has identified three areas of major interest for harnessing wave energy, in their plan of “Marine Energy and Energy Resources of Andalusia”. One of these areas is located on the Atlantic coast, the bay of Cádiz. Considering this initial interest, the objective of this work is to carry out an evaluation of the performance provided by various technologies of wave energy conversion in the bay of Cádiz. The data for the wave climate in the target area are obtained from the Spanish Agency Puertos del Estado. Diagrams for bivariate distributions of the sea states occurrences, defined by the significant wave height and the energy period, are shown. On this basis, the output of nine different technologies for the conversion of wave energy is assessed in the reference locations in the bay of Cádiz. According to the results obtained, it can be said that the bay of Cádiz is a suitable place for wave energy extraction.
安达卢西亚能源局在其“安达卢西娅海洋能源和能源资源”计划中确定了利用波浪能的三个主要兴趣领域。其中一个地区位于大西洋沿岸的加的斯湾。考虑到这一最初的兴趣,这项工作的目标是对加的斯湾波浪能转换的各种技术所提供的性能进行评估。目标地区的波浪气候数据来自西班牙Puertos del Estado机构。显示了由有效波高和能量周期定义的海况出现的双变量分布图。在此基础上,在加的斯湾的参考地点评估了九种不同的波浪能转换技术的输出。根据获得的结果,可以说加的斯湾是提取波浪能量的合适地点。
期刊介绍:
The journal is devoted to multidisciplinary researches in the fields of theoretical and experimental naval architecture and oceanology as well as to challenging problems in shipbuilding as well shipping, offshore and related shipbuilding industries worldwide. The aim of the journal is to integrate technical interests in shipbuilding, ocean engineering, sea and ocean shipping, inland navigation and intermodal transportation as well as environmental issues, overall safety, objects for wind, marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy production and sustainable transportation development at seas, oceans and inland waterways in relations to shipbuilding and naval architecture. The journal focuses on hydrodynamics, structures, reliability, materials, construction, design, optimization, production engineering, building and organization of building, project management, repair and maintenance planning, information systems in shipyards, quality assurance as well as outfitting, powering, autonomous marine vehicles, power plants and equipment onboard. Brodogradnja publishes original scientific papers, review papers, preliminary communications and important professional papers relevant in engineering and technology.
