- Additional information
- Using a high resolution wave propagation model coupled with a coastal processes model, this important study revealed that the presence of an offshore wave farm can significantly reduce beach erosion. As a consequence, it has been widely cited by researchers engaged in studying either wave energy and/or coastal engineering, moreover, it has informed exploitation of the synergy between coastal protection and renewable energy production to enhance the economic viability of wave energy. This growing area has generated significant interest as a niche application and important stepping-stone for utility scale wave energy development.
