Abstract
In this study, the wave energy potential in the coastal region of Romania was analyzed. For this purpose, a reanalysis data set downloaded from ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) was used. The reanalysis data contains information for various models. In this analysis the significant height of combined wind waves and swell, the mean wave direction and the mean wave period were analyzed in order to determine the potential of extracting clean energy from waves. The aim of this research is to analyze some performances factors (capacity factor, rated capacity, operating capacity, annul electricity production) of some of the most used wave energy convertors.
