The Wave Energy Centre renders services to its associates and non associate and has been developing consulting reports, since its early days, mainly related to site selection for the installation of wave energy devices, identification of the Western coast of Portugal and state of the art of technology in this area. The reports are in majority confidential, thus not available for the general public.
MARKET STUDY: Development Program for Marine Renewable Energy Test Facilities in Portugal
WindFloat Project: Permitting andLicensing Process
Ocean Energy: State of the Art
5 Years Activity Report of WavEC 2003-2008 The WavEC's 5 year activity report informs about our projects, field of intervention and dissemination activities. It contains a list of publications and has a brief description of our team.
Wind Offshore Status and Opportunities This study informed the client about the offshore wind energy state of art, market opportunities and international political scenery; global vision of legal aspects and environmental apprehension and Portuguese business opportunity.
Wave Energy: State of the Art The report focused the wave energy are, mainly the technical, commercial, economic, environmental, R&D aspects. The report had the intention to give a global vision of this field in order for the client to invest in this area.
Site selection for the exploitation of wave energy on the Western coast of Portugal Site selection study for the installation of offshore wave energy farms, with indication of possible barriers on the Portuguese coast. This study also presents the diverse technology types, the economic involvement and the perspective of environmental impacts of large scale utilization of wave energy.
Wave energy technology developers & relevant support systems in key markets The report presents a global view of wave energy technology developers and its main activities, as well as public support in certain key-markets. 56 wave energy technology systems are described.
This report gives an overview of the estimated energy resource and market size. Further it gives a description of what is going on in all the relevant countries in the world that are involved in wave energy. The final chapter deals with the future development of the industry.
Participation in due diligence process related to an advanced wave energy device with technical recommendations.
Wave Energy Technologies Evaluation Study The WavEC has been requested to deliver a report with an initial evaluation of wave energy technologies and contribute for a possible decision of the client to enter into the wave energy sector. The study focuses all the relevant activities in this area, having grouped the technologies into 4 major and different stages of development.
Preliminary Site Selection Study for Demonstration Wave Farm in Portugal The present study has been elaborated with the scope to indicate 5 preferable locations for offshore wave farm development along the Portuguese Continental coastline in the near future and describe the available information related to wave energy in Portugal, such as geological characteristics, bathymetry, resources, protected areas, grid connection capacity, etc.
Potential and Strategy for the Development of Wave Energy in Portugal This study shows that the Western coast of Portugal offers favorable conditions to the exploitation of wave energy. Possible conflicts with fishery and navigation should be further analyzed in detail. However, this is not considered to be an obstacle to the installation of wave energy farm in the future.
