Referring back to \Cref{remdo:tab:lit}, this study is the most comprehensive WEC optimization in breadth of design-variable disciplines, and on the larger end, though not the largest, in number of design variables.

%Finally, we recommend the balanced design for intermediate applications, where energy storage is available but not abundant, and cost is important but not the bottom line. An example is a grid-connected application for island communities. This balanced design has an LCOE of \$0.18/kWh and a power coefficient of variation equal to 100\%.
%Further insight on the power profiles of these recommended designs compared to the baseline can be uncovered through probability distribution plots, shown in \Cref{fig:power-dist}. The minimum variation design is seen to be tuned to produce most of its power from moderate sea states only ($\sim$60-300 kW), whereas the minimum LCOE design has a much broader spectrum, collecting significant power both below 10~kW and above 1~MW. The balanced design falls in the middle. %As expected, the minimum LCOE design operates at high powers the most, spending 50\% of the time above 500~kW, compared to 40\% and 10\% for the balanced and minimum variation designs respectively. Also as expected, the minimum variation design spends a large amount of time ($\approx$40\%) at low powers below 50~kW. Interestingly, the minimum-LCOE design actually spends more time at low powers than the balanced design. In future work, the power distributions could be optimized more explicitly, incorporating information other than the coefficient of variation as an objective based on grid-level analysis.
