Power output variations of co-located offshore wind turbines and wave energy converters in California

Enhancing Wave Energy Competitiveness through Co-Located Wind and Wave Energy Farms. A Review on the Shadow Effect

“…This work focuses on the former, co-located systems [87,88], since they are the simplest option at the present stage of development of wave and offshore wind technologies [30,89,90]. These systems combine an offshore wind farm with a WEC array with independent foundation systems but sharing: The same marine area, grid connection, O & M equipment and personnel, port structures, etc.…”

“…In this sense, combined energy farms would reduce the feasible environmental impact of these offshore energy installations since the affected area will be smaller than in the case of wave and wind farms as separate installations. Furthermore, recent studies have concluded that introducing WECs in offshore wind energy parks compensates the power variability and, thus, smoothes the power output [87,[95][96][97]. This way, balancing cost could be reduced up to 35% [98].…”

The Future Potential of Waver Power in the United States

“…Studies in the United States (Fusco et al 2010;Stoutenburg et al 2010) explore the interactions between variable wave and wind resource and the potential for co-location of wave energy converters and wind turbines.…”

Evaluation of a Long Term System coupled with a Short Term System of a hydrogen-based microgrid

“…The usefulness of these energy sources has been verified, the principal problem being their variability, therefore the most difficult inconvenient to solve is the control and manage of these microgrids. In this work, we focus on a combination of wind and wave's energy sources as their variability with respect to photovoltaic or another renewable sources is smaller thanks to the low temporal correlation of the resources [7]. Electrolyzers are used here to produce H 2 , as it enables the production of H 2 directly from electrical power and they are easily available in the market.…”
