Abstract
Many questions remain regarding the exploitation of wave energy and its interaction with our energy systems. Particularly about their likely role in future multi-renewable power systems, given the resource’s abundance, predictability, and high energy density. The objective of this paper is to present the expansion of the renewable energy capabilities of an open-source dynamic energy system model with novel wave energy converters subroutines paired with high-resolution metocean from the ERA5. The expansion allows for the model to assess the wave energy technical resource across Europe’s coastlines; Estimate the renewable wave energy capacity potential; Derive renewable wave generation availability time series of different devices; And consider wave energy technologies in a power flow optimization of the European transmission grid. It establishes the basis to perform future exploratory investigations of wave energy converters under a high renewable European electricity grid.
