- Abstract
- The Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework (MRESF) project has investigated the potential marine renewable energy tidal and wave resource of Welsh waters and considered potential scenarios for the sustainable development of that resource primarily as an aid to policy development and also an indicator of resource for potential developers. This dataset represents the areas with most potential for surface piercing wave energy developments in Welsh waters, as identified by RPS in the Marine Renewable Energy Strategic Framework (MRESF). Device requirements applied include maximum distance from shore, depth and wave characteristics. Resource areas were mapped for six categories based on location (nearshore or offshore) and device type (oscillating water column, single point/buoy, multi buoy, attenuators and over-topping collectors). No resource areas for attenuators were identified in Welsh waters. This polygon shows the resource area for oscillating water column and over-topping collector devices.
