THE DETAILED ESTIMATION OF THE WAVE CONDITION FOR THE TIDAL CURRENT POWER GENERATION PROJECT IN GOTO ISLANDS

Abstract

 The detailed wave estimation was conducted for the safety of the tidal current power facilities in Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture. The wave estimation database and the numerical coastal wave model SWAN were applied for the long-term wave estimation efficiently. Furthermore, the estimation results were compared with the neighboring wave observation data and some revision was made to improve the precisions.
