The objective of the present work is to assess the wave power in the North Sea in the vicinity of the most relevant wind farms that are operating there. At this moment, the coastal environment of the North Sea is among the most significant areas in the world from the point of view of harvesting marine renewable energy. Furthermore, this area is also very relevant for offshore activities related to oil and gas extraction. From this perspective, its coastal environment would be a perfect candidate for the implementation of the wave projects, which would benefit from existing infrastructure. The ERA5 dataset has been considered for the evaluation of the wave power for the 30-year period (1989–2018). 10 reference points have been defined in the coastal environment of the sea covering the most relevant locations and for them, the mean wave power has been first assessed. After this, the seasonal and monthly variability of the wave power have been also evaluated together with some statistical parameters. The results show that the northern part of the sea has relatively significant wave energy resources and it can be a viable candidate for implementation of the future wave projects. However, the linear trends indicate a slight tendency of decrease of the wave power, but on the other hand, the coefficient of resource variation has small values. Finally, a comparison with the satellite data provided by the European Space Agency is also carried out for the 27-year period 1992-2018. While in general there is a very good concordance between the two datasets, for the reference points located in the north-eastern part of the sea, which are the most resourceful locations, the satellite data indicate higher values.

目前工作的目标是评估北海在最相关的风力发电场附近运行的波浪能。目前，从收获海洋可再生能源的角度来看，北海的沿海环境是世界上最重要的地区之一。此外，该领域也与石油和天然气开采相关的海上活动非常相关。从这个角度来看，其沿海环境将是实施波浪项目的完美候选者，这将受益于现有的基础设施。ERA5 数据集已被考虑用于评估 30 年期间（1989-2018 年）的波浪功率。在海洋沿海环境中定义了 10 个参考点，涵盖了最相关的位置，并针对它们，首先评估了平均波浪功率。此后，还评估了波浪功率的季节性和每月变化以及一些统计参数。结果表明，北部海域具有较为丰富的波浪能资源，是未来实施波浪工程的可行候选区域。然而，线性趋势表明波浪功率有轻微的下降趋势，但另一方面，资源变化系数具有较小的值。最后，还与欧洲航天局提供的 1992-2018 年 27 年期间的卫星数据进行了比较。虽然总的来说，两个数据集之间有很好的一致性，但对于位于海洋东北部的参考点，这是资源最丰富的位置，
