This book presents the innovative concept of the dual function of
wave farms as both renewable energy generators and coastal
protection elements against erosion and flooding. Developing
renewable energy is one of the most pressing targets for society in
the coming decades due to the finite nature of fossil fuels, their
high costs, and the environmental impacts of their exploration and
use, including climate change and the subsequent sea-level rise.
Wave energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources,
thanks to its huge potential and low impact on the environment. As
such, this book discusses the development and application of
artificial intelligence to optimise wave farm location and layout,
assesses the influence of the wave energy converter geometry on
coastal protection against erosion and flooding, and analyses how
the performance of wave farms as coastal defence elements is
affected by climate change and sea level rise. The concepts,
methods and conclusions presented are helpful to students,
researchers, academics, engineers, designers, stakeholders and
managers around the globe interested in wave energy, coastal
engineering, and coastal management.
