Nearshore Waves Ideal For Wave Energy Says New Scientist
Nearshore waves offer much better prospects for wave energy development than previously thought, according to a report published in this week’s New Scientist magazine, 8 May 2010. The article quotes scientist Dr Matt Folley of Queen’s University, Belfast, who has calculated how much energy can be extracted from all wave types. He has found that nearshore waves offer almost as much exploitable energy as offshore waves.
