Abstract

This report will first give an introduction to the test site and its sensor network. The DanWEC test site is situated on the North-West coast of the Danish peninsula Jutland, at Hanstholm, facing the Danish part of the North Sea. The hindcast model which is used as base for the forecast model will be introduced together with validation of the model against data from wave measuring buoys. The forecast system and the ability of the forecast to accurately predict the wave and current conditions will then be presented. A detail analysis of the accuracy of the forecast model is presented using different error metrics and analyzing the data on a seasonal and monthly basis.
