This paper investigates the interaction of plane incident waves with a wavefarm in the open ocean. The farm consists of a periodic array of largeflap-type wave energy converters. A linear inviscid potential-flow model,already developed by the authors for a single flap in a channel, is considered.Asymptotic analysis of the wave field allows to obtain new expressions of thereflection, transmission and radiation coefficients of the system. It is shownthat, unlike a line of heaving buoys, an array of flap-type converters is ableto exploit resonance of the system transverse modes in order to attain highcapture factor levels. Relations between the hydrodynamic coefficients arederived and applied for optimising the power output of the wave farm.
