(a) Compare the average power (kW/m) in waves with 2.5 m significant wave height versus 2 m height if both have a peak wave period of 9 s. [2 Marks + 2 Marks] (b) Calculate the energy (kWh'/m) delivered by the waves with significant wave heights between 1 m and 2.75 m during August. [8 Marks] (c) Calculate the delivered energy by the 1-MW turbine with a scatter diagram given in the Table 4.2, in August for the waves between 1.5 m and 2.5 m. Assume 98% availability, an 95% directionality factor, and a 95% efficient generator.
