wave velocity causes a wave crest parallel to the coastline. Refraction results in concentration effects due to deflection of the wave propagation. If the depth con- tours around the shore are known, locations, where waves will be concentrated, can be identified. Hence refraction can help wave energy developments because re- searchers can build their WECs at the most cost-effective sites. Usually the most preferable sites due to concentration from this physical effect are the headlands of a coastline, what can be seen by in the next figure [Muel2015]. 10 Concentration effects due to refraction Due to concentration effects caused by refraction a shore based wave power plant should be located at headlands. Potential of wave energy The World Energy Council (WEC, 1999) has estimated a conservative number of 2000 TWh/y as potential for electricity generation out of wave energy. Other
You can experience four seasons in the course of a single day. The average temperature is +15...+20 degrees in summer and -5...-7 degrees in winter. The unstable weather has a definite effect upon the national character. They say that it has made the British both cautious and easily adaptable. Great Britain, consisting of England, Scotland and Wales, is 350 miles across at its widest point and 600 miles long at its longest. It has got beautiful beaches, bays, inlets, cliffs and rocky headlands. England features mostly low hills and plains. Its coastline is 3200 km long. The Pennine Chain splits northern England into western and eastern parts. There are many rivers and lakes (Lake District for example). The whole of England resembles a park in the hands of a skilful landscape gardener. Scotland covers about one-third of Great Britain. It has large areas of untouched and wild landscapes. Britain's highest peak, Ben Nevis (1343 m) lies there. Scotland may be divided into
