Wave Energy Conversion

Wave Energy Conversion involves capturing the movement of ocean waves to generate electricity. Specialized devices, such as oscillating water columns and point absorbers, are placed on or near the water’s surface. These systems harness the energy from the up-and-down motion of waves, turning it into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical power through turbines or generators. This renewable energy source is abundant and predictable, offering a sustainable way to produce electricity by utilizing the natural motion of the ocean without harming the environment.
