abstract
The feasibility of deploying wave energy converters at offshore sites near coastal population centers depends upon many factors. Specifically, information describing the converters length, vertical height, degree of submergence and orientation with respect to incident waves must be considered. This investigation examines the influence of these geometrical aspects upon single wave and spectral wave power estimates.
