Abstract
Lots of research on the long-term trends of meteorological and oceanic factors has been conducted. However, the research on the climatic trend of wave energy is extremely scarce, which is closely related to the medium- and long-term planning of resource development and predictive ability of wave energy. And the traditional analysis on long-term trends of resources was mainly concerned with the trend of WPD. In the actual wave energy development, energy stability (Cv, Mv, Sv) can affect acquisition and conversion efficiency, as well as equipment life. The EWHO reflects the available rate of wave energy, and the energy level frequencies (ALO, MLO, RLO) reflects the energy enrichment. This chapter analyzed the climatic trends of a series of key parameters of wave energy along the Maritime Silk Road for the first time at home and abroad, comprehensively including the trends of WPD, Cv, Mv, Sv, EWHO, ALO, MLO, RLO, etc. The analysis content of climatic trend includes the overall trend, seasonal difference and regional difference of the trend, dominant season and region of the trend, to lay a theoretical foundation for improving the medium- and long-term planning ability of wave energy development and predictive ability of wave energy.
