The recent positive development in commercial-scale wave energy farms has shown promising progress in the realization of wave farms as the next frontier in clean and renewable energy production. The Finnish wave energy developer;
AW-Energy;
is looking toward delivering the world’s first large-scale commercial wave farm;
comprised 24 WaveRoller wave energy converters (WECs) [3]. The Swedish company;
CorPower;
is planning into testing a commercial-scale system;
which consists of new-generation high-efficiency WECs inspired by the pumping principle of the human hearts [4]. In the UK;
Mocean Energy and AWS Ocean Energy have received funding from Wave Energy Scotland for the launch of demonstration WECs [5]. Companies such as Cor-Power and Simply Blue Energy are developing the Western Star project off the west coast of Clare;
Ireland;
for the deployment of an integrated floating wind and wave farm [6].The author is grateful for the research funding provided by the Ministry of Education—SIT Strategic Initiative Funding (F-MOE-A204-G005) in supporting the execution of numerical simulation in this research;
