Essay

It has been speculated that an OTEC facility could use wave energy to offset its low efficiency by providing electrical energy for operating the plant. Where would the most advantageous location(s) be for such a facility? If the facility could intercept 200 m of wave front for your chosen location and had a total output of 100 MWe, what fraction of this total output would be from waves? Assume the efficiency of wave-generated electricity to be 35%.
