Abstract The wave energy can be a critical solution for growing international renewable energy demand. The present study demonstrates the wave potential of the southern side of the Caspian Sea. In this regard, the mathematical equation of the wave energy was presented. Moreover, the wave energy simulation was performed using the wind data from ECMWF within 2011–2015 by implementing the MIKE software. For this reason, nine nominated stations were presented and the wave height characteristics and the maximum wave potential were evaluated in order to validate the results of the simulation, Amirabad and Neka stations were selected and the results were compared and good agreement was observed. Moreover, a mesh structure was presented to demonstrate the depth variation of the Caspian Sea. The results of the simulation were achieved for nine stations and the wave height and peak wave period was demonstrated. The wave power contours were revealed for every station. The result showed that the May (0.9 kW per meter) and December (3.6 kW per meter) have the lowest and highest wave energy potential for selected stations.

里海南部带状海上可转换海上波浪能容量评价

摘要 波浪能是满足日益增长的国际可再生​​能源需求的关键解决方案。目前的研究证明了里海南侧的波浪潜力。对此，提出了波浪能的数学方程。此外，通过实施 MIKE 软件，使用 ECMWF 2011-2015 年的风数据进行了波浪能模拟。为此，提出了 9 个指定台站，并评估了波高特征和最大波势，以验证模拟结果，选择了 Amirabad 和 Neka 台站并对结果进行了比较，观察到良好的一致性。此外，还提出了一个网格结构来展示里海的深度变化。模拟结果在 9 个台站获得，并证明了波高和波峰周期。揭示了每个站的波浪功率等值线。结果表明，5 月（每米 0.9 千瓦）和 12 月（每米 3.6 千瓦）具有选定站的最低和最高波浪能潜力。
