Wave Energy Generation Potential for a Point Absorber Type WEC on the Brazilian Coast

Abstract:

Wave energy studies have increased by a large amount in the last years. Basically, the studies are divides either at describing the wave characteristics of the study region, either to develop and optimize wave energy converters (WEC’s). This study aims to characterize in part the wave potential of the brazilian coast, and after that, calculate how much energy would be generate by a point-absorber type WEC in a set of different locations. It was found that Rio Grande do Sul alongside Santa Catarina state presented the higher potentials amongst all the brazlian coast. Mean while, at Rio Grande do Norte state, the variability of the waves were lower when compared to the south region of Brazil. This study aims to serve as indicator to interest regions with wave power capabilities in the alongside the brazilian shore.
