Description
Wave energy technology in China could potentially contribute 13GW of installed power to the country's energy needs with particular benefit to coastal regions that have limited local energy resources. Commercial wave energy development in China is hampered by low wave power density levels between 2-7kW/m, an order of magnitude less than the UK, yet suffers on average from more than 10 high intensity typhoon events a year, causing extreme wind and wave conditions. This project aims to address the survivability of wave energy converters in Chinese waters during reoccurring high intensity typhoons. The research will explore the development of cost-effective mooring systems.
