Wave energy is an irregular and oscillating low-frequency energy source that can be converted to a 60-Hertz frequency

Kinetic energy, the energy of motion, in waves is tremendous. An average 4-foot, 10-second wave striking a coast puts out more than 35,000 horsepower per mile of coast.

Because wave energy needs only 1/200 the land area of wind and requires no access roads, infrastructure costs are less;

Once you've built a wave power station, the energy is free, needs no fuel and produces no waste or pollution

The energy is free - no fuel needed, no waste produced.

Not expensive to operate and maintain.

Can produce a great deal of energy.

Some designs are noisy. But then again, so are waves, so any noise is unlikely to be a problem.

Ocean waves are caused by the wind as it blows across the sea. Waves are a powerful source of energy.

Wave energy is produced when electricity generators are placed on the surface of the ocean
...

Cancel
Energy output is determined by wave height, wave speed, wavelength, and water density.
