Mounting concern over the risk of global climate change has led to an increased interest in research and development of renewable energy technologies. Renewable energy has the potential to fulfill demand with a smaller environmental outline and may help to ease other demanding problems. So, wave energy assessment is crucial. The ocean provides a huge source of energy resources, yet to be explored fully. With the advancement of technology in the assessment and conversion of wave energy, the feasibility of harnessing wave energy has increased. In the southern Australia, Denmark, Portugal, Scotland and many parts of the world the wave energy conversion projects are commissioned. In India, in the wave energy rich coastal regions, wave energy conversion may be feasible, which will significantly improve the economics, livelihood and environment scenario there. To identify such suitable regions assessment of assessment of wave energy potential is essential. In the present work the wave energy potential at Ullal, Karnataka is assessed using Mathematical modeling. This study analyses the wave energy resources using 3rd generation Spectral Wave Model (Mike21 SW) for year 2013 by using wind and wave data obtained from Indian National Centre for Ocean Information (ESSO-INCOIS) at two buoys Agatti and Kozhikode. In this study, the spectral wave model is used for the assessment of wave climates in offshore and coastal areas- in hindcast and forecast mode. The outcomes were calibrated using SW model, and from the calibrated model wave energy potential is assessed. The results showed that, there exist wave energy hot spots along the Ullal coast. It is concluded that at the 3 location (Ullal, Someshwar, Dwarkanagar) the wave power is significant and wave energy extraction is possible.
