Renewable Energy: Sea Wave Energy Devices

This entry deals with ocean waves as an energy source. Under the action of winds blowing over the ocean surface, energy content is transferred and carried by ocean waves up to the shoreline all over the world. Different types of devices are under development to conveniently convert this energy potential into electrical power. The opportunity of exploiting ocean waves as an energy source is presented here, and the economic and environmental impacts of different technical solutions are considered.
