by Hideo Kondo, Muroran Inst of Technology, Japan,
Tomiji Watabe, Muroran Inst of Technology, Japan,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Ocean Energy Recovery

Abstract:

An approach to find the water depth which brings the minimum cost of energy extracted with the wave power extractors of nearshore fixed type is proposed. A case study with Pendulor wave power extractor is performed at a small island in the Japan Sea off Hokkaido, Japan.
