Proposed Final Edits(Draft #2)

After reading my assigned peer reviewer’s review of my proposed edits to the wikipedia article, I have decided to slightly alter my edits. While they identified similar content gaps within the article that I had previously taken note of, they also had various suggestions on the content and organization of my edits. They suggested using subheadings along with organizing my edits from here on after as “updates” and “new information” which I think it's a good idea so I will start doing so. The sources I had compiled were looked at under my peer reviewer’s discretion where they rated the applicability and credibility of each which was very helpful. I plan on using most of them still given their ratings because they vary from broad overview of wave farms to the very specific environmental effects they have which I still want to continue to pursue as an edit within the article. I will probably dive into the “potential” and “challenges” section as recommended by my reviewer due to the lack of information they have compared to the more STEM/Engineering oriented sections of the article. My edits are in bold.

Lead Section
As of 2023, wave power is not widely employed for commercial applications, after a long series of trial projects. Attempts to use this energy began in 1890 or earlier, mainly due to its high power density. Just below the ocean's water surface the wave energy flow, in time-average, is typically five times denser than the wind energy flow 20 m above the sea surface, and 10 to 30 times denser than the solar energy flow.

'''Eco Wave Power(EWP), a Swedish business based in Israel, claims to have developed and patented a wave power electricity conversion technology. In their September 2023 corporate update, the company cited several advances towards commercial applications for the technology. The station allows for the testing of new systems components and floater designs and materials, with an eye towards continuously improving the EWP wave energy technology and maintaining EWP's leading market position.'''

Wave farms
A wave farm (wave power farm or wave energy park) is a group of colocated wave energy devices. The devices interact hydrodynamically and electrically, according to the number of machines, spacing and layout, wave climate, coastal and benthic geometry, and control strategies. The design process is a multi-optimization problem seeking high power production, low costs and limited power fluctuations. '''Nearshore wave farms have substaintial impact on beach dynamics. For instance, wave farms significantly reduce erosion which demonstrates that this synergy between coastal protection and energy production enhances the economic viability of wave energy.Additional research finds that wave farms located near lagoons can potentially provide effective coastal protection during maritime spatial planning.'''

"Stockholm, Sweden, September 27, 2023 – Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (“Eco Wave Power” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WAVE), a leading, publicly traded onshore wave energy technology company that developed a patented, smart and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity, is pleased to report its financial results as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and provide a corporate update." > from web of science source

"This paper performs an investigation of power performance and techno-economic performance of wave power farms in realistic wave climates, where hydrodynamic interaction and influence of control strategies employed by power take-off systems are fully considered in mathematical modeling and numerical analysis." ---> is this source okay?

Draft Ideas?
"As of 2022, wave power is not widely employed for commercial applications, after a long series of trial projects. Attempts to use this energy began in 1890 or earlier,mainly due to its high power density"


 * Change this to "as of 2023" OR add in some actual examples of current commercial applications of wave power.

"In 2000 the world's first commercial wave power device, the Islay LIMPET was installed on the coast of Islay in Scotland and connected to the UK national grid. In 2008, the first experimental multi-generator wave farm was opened in Portugal at the Aguçadoura wave park. Both projects have since ended."


 * Say why they ended?

Add into the "challenges part" the LCOE of wave energy


 * However, technologies of utilizing wave energy are still at a pre-commercial stage (Carballo and Iglesias, 2013; Margheritini et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2018), and associated levelized cost of energy (LCOE), a widely used benchmark for the economic viability of various energy generation technologies, is much higher than other renewable energy resources. For example, Wei et al. (2020) investigated that LCOE of wave energy converters is in a range of 0.18–0.87 A$/kWh, while that of solar energy varies from 0.06 A$/kWh to 0.38 A$/kWh and that of offshore wind energy is 0.10–0.56 A$/kWh
