Author Information

Matt Folley is currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Marine Renewables Research Group at Queen’s University Belfast and member of the SuperGen UK Centre for Marine Energy Research, dedicated to the establishment of marine technology as a means of sustainable power generation. He has been modelling wave energy converters for over 25 years and has first-hand experience of developing and using a wide range of numerical models of wave energy converters and wave energy converter arrays. He was a co-founder and inaugural convenor of the wave energy converter array network (WECAN), which is an international expert group focused on the modelling of wave energy converter arrays. He is also chair of the IEC international committee for the development of standards for the assessment and characterisation of the wave energy resource and UK principle expert on the IEC international committee for the development of standards for the assessment of the performance of wave energy converters. He has worked with a number of companies on modelling their wave energy converters, including WaveGen and Aquamarine Power.
