Abstract

Previous researchers have made great contribution to the analysis of the wave energy climatic characteristics of many sea areas globally. But there are a few researches about the Maritime Silk Road. In the systematic aspect of the study of wave energy climatic characteristics, the elements of analysis are still not comprehensive enough. Besides considering traditional wave power density (WPD), energy stability, energy storage, it is necessary to take full consideration of the available rate, energy richness, energy direction, and the contribution of different sea states to wave energy, which are also closely related to the development of the wave energy. Scarce materials, large reserves and huge amount calculations and the high technical requirements have greatly increased the difficulty of systematic research on wave energy. For the first time, this chapter presented the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of a series of key parameters of wave energy of the Maritime Silk Road by utilizing ERA-interim wave data from the ECMWF, to provide technical support (site selection, daily operation, etc.) for the development of resource such as wave power generation and seawater desalination.
