| Abstract | Wind-generated ocean waves have the potential of contributing a significant amount of renewable energy. The conversion of ocean waves into sustainable electrical power has been increasingly concerned and the need for wave energy resource assessment therefore becomes essential. This paper explores the wave energy potential of Southeast Asia (SEA) by applying numerical wind-wave modelling. In particular, the spectral wave model with SEA domain and resolutions between 1? and 100m was run for one-year period. The boundary conditions were obtained from another spectral wave model with the coarser mesh of Indo-Western Pacific domain, comprising of the Indian Ocean and part of western Pacific Ocean ranges between 20? to 140? E and 60? S to 35? N. The modelling output presents the map of annual mean wave power of the region and it reveals that wave power is highest in the western side of Sumatra island, the Andaman Sea part offshore of Myanmar, followed by the South China Sea area between Vietnam and the Philippines. Within the Singapore Strait, wave energy is found to be strongest in the southeast, and showing the greatest magnitude during northeast monsoon. |
