OCEANOGRAPHY / COASTAL PROCESSES
Investigating and characterising the wave and current conditions for successful deployment of wave energy converters (WEC) in coastal regions.
The near-shore wave buoy is located of the Southern Coast of Western Australia near Torbay Inlet. The full dataset for this buoy is available at the Torbay Wave Data Page on the WA Waves website.
Investigating and characterising the wave and current conditions for successful deployment of wave energy converters (WEC) in coastal regions.
Developing models to predict wave-WEC interactions and inform optimal WEC design for power generation and survivability.
Developing foundation engineering solutions to meet the specific requirements of the marine renewable energy industry.
