Abstract

This book offers a concise, practice-oriented reference-guide to the field of ocean wave energy. The ten chapters highlight the key rules of thumb, address all the main technical engineering aspects and describe in detail all the key aspects to be considered in the techno-economic assessment of wave energy converters. Written in an easy-to-understand style, the book answers questions relevant to readers of different backgrounds, from developers, private and public investors, to students and researchers. It is thereby a valuable resource for both newcomers and experienced practitioners in the wave energy sector.

•Offers a practice-oriented reference guide to the field of ocean wave energy
•Presents an overview as well as a deeper insight into wave energy converters
•Covers both the economic and engineering aspects related to ocean wave energy conversion
