Wave energy technology needs to look both ahead & behind
- "Wave energy converters are specifically designed to produce the maximum output at the location where they are going to be placed, in other words, to ensure that they generate as much electricity as possible from the movement of the waves around them. The design and adaptation is made on the basis of historical data, past wave height and period." - Excerpt from an ongoing study that found that converters need to be designed to handle more frequent, higher magnitude wave and storm events to maximize energy generation (future conditions), instead of just historical data and parameters.
