Abstract

The research aims to identify the best location for a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) on Pantelleria Island, evaluating criteria like energy resource, accessibility and feasibility. Bathymetric trend and coastal distance are key in locating suitable marine areas. An in-depth analysis was conducted to analyze the wave energy potential, considering both the mean wave power and the Wave Energy Development Index (WEDI). Sea states information are obtained from SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) model, generating reliable time series data and providing waves characteristics. This study offers valuable insights for strategically deploying WECs, aligning with sustainable energy initiatives on the island.
