This is a research project to investigate the wave energy resource to be found around Mauritius. The search for alternatives to fossil fuel generated power production is an issue to be approached with renewed urgency. As the need for power increases, and as the costs escalate, we also seek to reduce our effect on the environment by reducing greenhouse gases and the acidification of the oceans. Mauritius has a proud heritage in wave energy. It was one of the first countries to seriously examine how to implement a realistic wave energy system back in the 1960's through the efforts of an engineer called Bott, who was the General manager of the CEB. His work was scuppered by political considerations in the UK, where nuclear power was in the ascendency, but perhaps the time has now come for wave energy to be seriously examined again. In the last few years there has been a preponderance of new wave energy devices, with an explosion in the number of patents and the development of prototypes. Only a few of these will ever be used in production, but it is hoped that by investigating the wave energy resource around Mauritius here, and by actively promoting itself as a project partner, Mauritius will be one of the first locations to develop power production through wave energy conversion. Numerics Warehouse Ltd. is a small R&D led consultancy based in the west of Ireland and specialising in the simulation of the environment on supercomputers. During its 4 years of operation it has undertaken successful numerical modelling contracts for the Marine Institute of Ireland, for the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (Ocean Energy Development Unit), INFOMAR and the Geological Society of Ireland. The company has worked with some of the leading ocean energy companies, such as Vattenfall and OpenHydro (several projects). We have conducted joint research projects with the University of Porto and INTECMAR in Spain. The range of the numerical modelling work we have been involved in has spanned oil dispersion, shellfish growth, Harmful Algal Bloom development, sediment transport, wave energy climatology, tidal stream resource analysis and mathematical variational data assimilation. We are also a project partner in an EU FP7 project called ASIMUTH. We are technical experts in numerical modelling of the atmosphere, oceans and waves. Our background is in physical oceanography. In this study it was the intention to rigourously describe the wave climate around Mauritius by employing High Performance Computers and statistical tools. The format of the data outputs should be familiar to wave energy developers. The idea is to make it easier for designers and engineers to see how their products could be a part of an ocean renewable energy powered island economy for the future. The results of the computer simulations are used to recommend further actions to be taken and to suggest where future wave energy parks might be situated in the seas around Mauritius.
