North Sea Wave Energy Converter

A North Sea Wave Energy Converter is a device that harnesses the natural power of ocean waves to generate electricity. Positioned offshore in the North Sea, it captures the up-and-down motion of waves using specialized structures like oscillating water columns or floating buoys. As waves move, these devices convert mechanical motion into electrical energy through turbines or other mechanisms. This renewable energy source helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and supplies clean power to nearby regions, making use of the North Sea's consistent wave activity for sustainable electricity generation.
