How to Use This Calculator

Enter significant wave height Hs (m) and peak period Tp (s) for the site.
Enter WEC capture width (m), PTO efficiency (%), and device availability (%).
Read annual energy production (MWh) and capacity factor (%).
Review wave power density (kW/m) to assess site resource quality.
Use results to compare WEC performance across candidate sites for feasibility screening.
