- Understanding the extreme loading experienced by wave energy converters during storms is critical for their design. This paper reports on the use of focused waves to measure these loads. The significance of the work is that it has influenced the design of physical modelling campaigns, including commercial developers such as Carnegie that have been tested in Plymouth's COAST laboratory. The conclusions have also influenced the design of the EPSRC ORE Supergen core work package 4, where alternative techniques to replace the use of focused waves to determine extreme loads are being investigated.
