Environmental Impact Assessment of Ocean Energy Converters Using Quantum Machine Learning
Abstract: The accelerating deployment of ocean energy converters (OECs) across tidal, wave, osmotic, and thermal domains necessitates rigorous, data-intensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) frameworks capable of modelling multi-stressor marine ecosystems in real time. Classical machine learning approaches, while operationally mature, encounter scalability bottlenecks and feature correlation limitations when applied to the high-dimensional, non-linear datasets characteristic of offshore monitoring networks. This paper presents a comprehensive quantum machine learning (QML) framework for the …
