ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF WAVE ENERGY FARMS IN PORTUGAL

Economic Feasibility of Wave Energy Farms in Portugal

This paper develops a methodology to determine the economic feasibility of implementing offshore wave energy farms on the Portuguese continental coast.This methodology follows several phases: the geographic phase, the energy phase, the economic phase, and the restrictions phase.First, in the geographic phase, the height and the period of the waves,

Preferential transport of water and 131Iodide in a clay loam assessed with TDR-techniques and boundary-layer flow theory

Rapid soil moisture variations were measured with TDR equipment at five depths ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 m during five consecutive infiltration experiments under ponding.Each time, 27 shure blx2 h10 mm of water were applied.The water of the second experiment was spiked with 200 mbq of K131I-tracer.Its activity was recorded as functions of depth and t
