Wave Energy Converter

A Wave Energy Converter (WEC) is a device that captures energy from ocean waves and converts it into usable electricity. As waves move, they create mechanical energy, which WECs harness through various mechanisms, such as buoyant bodies or oscillating water columns. This energy is then transformed into electrical power, which can be fed into power grids or used locally. WECs offer a renewable energy source, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and helping to combat climate change, while taking advantage of the ocean's natural energy.
