wave energy converters

Wave energy converters (WECs) are devices that capture the energy of ocean waves and transform it into electricity. They work by harnessing the up-and-down or rolling motion of waves using mechanical or hydraulic systems, which drive generators to produce electrical power. WECs can be installed on or near the surface, floating, or fixed to the ocean floor. They offer a renewable and predictable source of energy, utilizing the consistent motion of waves to generate clean electricity, contributing to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting sustainable energy development.
