... study "Performance and economic feasibility analysis of 5 wave energy devices off the west coast of Ireland" [14], shows as expected that the cost of energy reduces significantly with increased farm size. It also shows that the reduction varies for the different device types -see figure 6. Comprehensive studies on wave energy The book "Ocean Wave Energy Conversion" [15], gives a good overview of the ocean wave energy resource and the potential markets. Many WEC types are described -also more exotic types than the ones mentioned in this article. Also lists of WECs tested in large scale since 2001 and photos of many of the devices, can be found in the book. The study delivers many useful findings regarding the viability of wave power. Unfortunately, it is also stated that: "...developers of wave energy converters should concentrate their effort on the development of technologies adapted to these water depth of 10-20m.". All entrepreneurs who have worked in this depth zone at exposed coasts know however that it is extremely difficult and costly to construct and maintain any kind of installations in this zone -see also p.3 in this ...
