Concluding remarks
The LIMPET project has and continues to
make a considerable contribution to the
development of wave power technology.
Achievements
Principal conclusion
The most important conclusion is that it is
essential to distinguish between the available
wave resource and the technically
exploitable wave resource, which can be
converted economically and rate the
mechanical electrical plant accordingly. This
will result in a plant rating which is much
closer to the mean power production and not
the extremes. It is also essential to maximise
conversion efficiency close to the mean
wave resource as this will increase the day to
day electrical production.
