Ocean Wave Prediction Technology: Boosting Renewable Energy Efficiency
Improving Wave Energy Converter Prediction Models: A Technical Review Harnessing the power of ocean waves for renewable energy holds immense potential, but the inherent unpredictability of wave dynamics presents a significant challenge. Accurate wave prediction is crucial for optimizing the performance of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and maximizing energy extraction. This technical review examines two prominent prediction methods – Autoregressive (AR) models and Echo State Networks (ESNs) – analyzing their strengths, limitations, and practical implications for WEC development and deployment....
