Wave Energy Conversion
Wave Energy Conversion refers to the process of capturing the energy produced by ocean waves and converting it into usable electricity. This technology harnesses the kinetic and potential energy of waves, which are generated by wind blowing across the surface of the sea. Various devices, such as point absorbers and oscillating water columns, are designed to efficiently capture this energy.
The converted energy can then be used to power homes, businesses, and even entire communities. As a renewable energy source, wave energy has the potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
