The Environmental Impact of a Wave Dragon Array Operating in the Black Sea

Table 2

CS1 (𝐻_𝑠 = 1 m, 𝑇_𝑚 = 4 s, Dir = 90°), evaluation of the impact of the energy farms on the waves in the reference points OP1 (northern offshore point), OP2 (central offshore point), OP3 (southern offshore point), and in the point NP1–NP7. WD0: no energy converter, WD6: four Wave Dragon energy converters operating in line.
