Title :
Wave and Tidal Power measurement using HF radar
Author_Institution :
Sheffield Univ., Sheffield
Abstract :
HF radar systems have been used extensively worldwide to provide surface current measurements for scientific, vessel traffic management, environmental, offshore engineering, search and rescue and other applications. Wave measurement with such systems is beginning to be used in operational systems. Many validations have been carried out demonstrating the accuracy of the parameters measured. This paper addresses the potential application of these systems within the marine renewables industry. Wave and tidal power measurements are presented.
