TEN-YEAR WAVE ENERGY RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION IN THE SEA AROUND ZHOUSHAN ARCHIPELAGO
The marine wave energy resources with abundant reserves have broad prospects of application,and sufficient wave energy assessment is conducive to industrial development and sustainable energy supply.Based on the long-term observation data of single-point buoys offshore in Zhoushan Archipelago and in accordance with the wave resource assessment methods and technical specifications issued by the Ocean Energy Technical Commission of the International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC TS 62600-101),the third-generation wave model SWAN(simulating waves nearshore)was applied to perform the wave field simulation in the past 10 years.The wave energy resources in the Zhoushan Archipelago were analyzed and evaluated in detail by the hindcast data including six IEC evaluation parameters used for resource characterization.Results show that the wave energy resource in the Zhoushan Archipelago is heavily affected by the island shielding and has obvious seasonal characteristics,and the distribution of resource is roughly high in the east and low in the west.The southeastern coast of Maan Islands,the east coast of Zhongkui Island and the eastern half of Daishan-Dongfushan island group are all good sites for wave energy development,of which the latter is the best.The 10-year high-precision wave information dataset provides a valuable reference for the development of wave energy resources in the Zhoushan Qundao.
