| Résumé | This paper presents research focusing on the validation of a new Technical Specification (TS) developed by Technical Committee 114 (TC-114) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This new TS focuses on the assessment of wave energy resources, primarily using numerical wave models that are well validated by wave measurements. The validation of the TS is conducted through an extensive pilot application on a small section of the Pacific Ocean, off the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. This validation includes the development of a wave model that is then used to simulate the wave conditions and produce the spectral data required to estimate the wave energy resource at the site of interest. The performance of the numerical model has been assessed through comparison with field measurements from a directional wave buoy. The validation includes conducting several sensitivity analyses in order to determine the main sources of error and uncertainty affecting the precision of the numerical wave model output. Interim results indicate that the IEC TS can be successfully applied to estimate wave energy resources with a varying degree of accuracy and a reasonable level of computational effort. |
