Wave Energy

Main content start

The InVEST Wave Energy model measures and values the electricity generation potential of ocean waves. For each specified region, the model estimates expected wave power and harvested energy, and calculates the net present value of constructing and operating a wave energy conversion facility. Spatially explicit outputs equip users to evaluate tradeoffs when siting wave energy facilities to optimize energy production and value throughout their lifespans.
