Wave Energy Integration into Power Grids: Future Requirements and Opportunities
|
|
WECs are at an earlier stage of development than wind and solar power plants. A variety of concepts have been proposed and tested worldwide, but only a few WECs have exported power to electrical grids. Therefore, the actual impact of integrating high levels of wave power into grids is still uncertain. But how can we anticipate the requirements and opportunities for wave power integration in the near future? In this blog post, we use lessons learned from the technical challenges associated with integrating large amounts of other variable renewable energy sources to help answer this question.

Staying on the Right Path: Finding Key Metrics for Successful Development of Wave Energy Converters
|
|
WECs are devices that harness the energy from ocean waves and convert it into another form of power which is usable – typically electrical power. To ensure the successful development and deployment of WECs, it is essential to keep track of several key metrics that provide valuable insights into their performance and efficiency. Developers and operators can then use the metrics to make informed decisions in terms of improving WEC design, operation, and maintenance.
