Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work – for example,electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). A machine able to exploit wave power is generally known as a wave energy converter (WEC).
- Waves effectively average out the wind that generates them over large areas which results in a high level of consistency compared to wind or solar. Only on very few days per year are waves too weak to generate electricity.
Types of power take-off include: hydraulic ram,elastomer hose pipe, pump-to-shore,hydroelectric turbine, air turbine, and linear electric generator.
more info coming later :)
