Wave energy resource potential on Gyzylsuv island in the Caspian Sea

The long-term seasonal variability of the hydrometeorological and hydrodynamic regimes of the Gyzylsuv Island in the Caspian Sea was studied, and the distribution of the energy potential of wave energy was calculated on their basis. With the help of mathematical modeling of the hydrodynamic process of mixed sea waves, the average value of the resource energy potential of waves is determined, which is 0,88·104 kW/m. The average value of the energy potential of waves begins to increase from October from 1,02 104 to 1,23 104 kW/m in February, from March to September it decreases from 0,87 104 to 0,41 104 kW/m . Statistical analysis confirms that the standard deviation of the energy potential of wave energy from the wind speed is 0,281 and 0,334. Gyzylsuv Island in the territorial waters of Turkmenistan has significant wave energy resources that can solve the problems of supplying electricity, as well as obtaining fresh drinking water using desalination plants.
