Ocean wave energy can be harnessed by a group of wave energy converters deployed together to generate electricity from the kinetic energy of ocean waves. Such wave energy arrays are often located near the coast or offshore, consisting of multiple devices, such as floating buoys, and connected to the grid through power transmission. In the present work, the multiple scattering theory is employed to assess the array performance in multi-directional irregular waves. Based on the meteorological occurrence probability of each sea state and the power matrix of each converter, the annual power production at a localised site is evaluated quantitively. Moreover, the developed numerical method is used to select the most appropriate site for given arrays considering the varying sea states in a year.
