Description 163-175
An
analysis of the wave climate based on historical data is first carried out.
High resolution simulations with the SWAN spectral model were performed
considering the most relevant environmental conditions that could be expected
in the area targeted. In order to evaluate the impact of the wave energy farm,
wave model simulations were carried out considering three different situations.
These

are
without any wave energy converter, with one converter and with four converters
operating in the nearshore. Impact in the geographical and in the spectral
spaces was evaluated for various representative patterns. Moreover, in order to
estimate the influence of the wave farm on the shoreline dynamics, the
nearshore circulation was also assessed using the 1D Surf model. Results show
that the presence of such a wave farm has a strong influence on the wave
conditions immediately down wave but this influence is in general highly
attenuated at the level of the coastline.
